Haying Time

Haying is in full swing with swathers and balers everywhere.  I think I saw 7 balers on my 47-mile drive to my hair stylist.  M has been busy with that.  R swaths, M bales and J hauls the bales.  We've had a lot of dew in the mornings and even fog a couple of days ago so the hay is not drying out too fast.  R had a day and a half off over the weekend so that he didn't get too far ahead of the baler.  J has been hauling whenever he has time.  It's been a bit more fun to cut hay this year than last.  M is only half done with what he usually cuts and has already made more bales than all of last year

I have just been running the past two days.  Yesterday I went to Wolf Point to pick up pork from the meat processor, picked up produce at the neighbor's, had lunch at my in-laws with M and J and then M and I went back to Scobey since we got a little (emphasis on little) shower.  He needed to sign his certification papers at the FSA office and with his crop insurance agent.  We also needed to pick up our wildlife escape ramp for our water tank at the NRCS.  Photos to come later after it's installed.

Today J, C and I were in Glasgow by 8 am to put the finishing touches on the CSP applications.  Representatives from the five county area are meeting tomorrow to go over the applications and scoring to see who is approved so we should know probably in the next week or two if we were successful.  This afternoon I made the trek to get a much overdo haircut.

The wind has blown like crazy all week.  I have to go to work the next two days so I'm sure the weather will be much nicer.  That's just how it goes.
