Help does anyone have any advice or experience.
Hay was cut on Thursday with view to baling today (mon) or (tues).
It rained on Sunday afternoon (not forecast), farmer came and turned it today and the forecast was dry with a view to baling half the field later today and the rest tomorrow.
It has now rained on it again this afternoon - (again not forecast) and so the baling has been postponed.
It is forecast to rain from tomorrow lunchtime onward so it is unlikely that it will be dry enough or sufficient time to bale it before the rain comes.
If baled it was going to be about 600 bales. Now with rain forecast on and off for the rest of the week I don't know what to do as the hay is going to be ruined.
How do I get rid of all the grass on the field!!!
Help has anyone been in this situation before and if so what have you done?

and some of my best stuff had a drop of rain on it. It's better if it's not spread when it gets rained on, but even so yours has been down long enough, get it in the bales. Whatever extra it costs you to wrap it, it's going to cost you to get rid of it if you don't lift it now. You might be able to save a bit by buying your own wrap to provide to the baler man.
