The last few days have been savage hay weather.

Cut Tuesday evening by a tractor with 3 mowers on.
Picture taken today.
Raked in and baled and wrapped this afternoon.

Edit: 22 units N/acre @8.5 bales/acre.

As much as i want some it can wait until the hay is saved. Id say tomorrow will catch me. If i got until 12.30 tomorrow id have one light bit baled but the rest will need until Saturday.

Smashing morning here. Busy bringing in square bales of hay for O Briens. Sweated off all the weight I put on :P

We had a swealtering day yesterday although it clouded over from 8pm.

Nice hazy sunny morning again with a slight breeze which we didn’t have yesterday.

Silage growing on well but won’t be ready until after next weekend.

It can rain now if it likes. Hay made here. Scorcher of a day again. I wouldn't make faces at a pint :-)

From the mouth of the Shannon up to Lough Neagh.

Cloud burst here now. The grass will be jumping out of the ground. 2 neighbours have hay down though. They won't be pleased

First few drops here now and you can see on the radar it's right on top of us.

Started bucketing down here at about 3 and rained until 8. Heavy rain yesterday evening also.
Lots of what was meant to be hay and silage down and soaked around here.
So much for a few isolated showers as predicted two days ago.

Mooooo

Nothing in cork, night is cooler and clouds overhead

_Brian

We had a few small showers earlier.
Calm and cooler now.

Was driving from Ballyconnell to other home in Longford this afternoon. It was sunny in Ballyconnell when I left but came across torrential downpours between Carrigallen and Arvagh with mini riverlets on the road. Only a slight drizzle when I got home to our place.

Back home in NCD this evening and it was sunny and dry when I arrived although there is a mist falling now. Thankfully it's cooler here on the East Coast and I'm looking forward to a good nights sleep.

Finally get to sit down outside and it's gone cold out now

I want to spread fertiliser for second cut like everyone. But i think i will wait until this rain passes on Wednesday as it will be too heavy and loss will be to high.
Would you go or not with Fertiliser Today

Spread it yesterday
