Haying in September is tricky. Cool nights often bring morning dew. 70-80 degrees feels wonderful but doesn’t dry the hay as fast. Scattered rain is showing up every few days. Raking to speed drying also knocks off the alfalfa leaves. But do we do it?
You bet! Lower quality hay is still hay…

Great photo. Love the blue sky. I think we may be done with haying here, but I’ve seen several tractors with large trailers full of potatoes so we are into harvest time. Chilly autumn has come early this year.
Looks like beautiful hay from here!
