what a year for weather - have been waiting on tenterhooks to get hay in, checking the long range weather daily. Finally this week we gave up on the idea of hay - can't see a 5 day window of decent weather in the near future. So decided after long discussions with the contractor to go for large bale haylage. Had it cut this week - turned and baled and tonight it is being wrapped. Thank god, such a relief but at least I now have feed for all the liveries for this winter. The contractor was saying he has really struggled again this year and there is no end in site to the bad weather till later on in September by which time the nutritional value of the hay has gone. Can relax now
