Pictures don't always tell the whole story.
After the first cutting of hay this spring, we were faced with drought
conditions. What hay we did harvest was extremely expensive
due to increased input costs such as fertilize, diesel and even the
net wrap. There is no such thing as cheap hay this year!
There were times this summer during the drought
combined with extreme heat, it was doubtful that we
would have another cutting of hay .
I'm thankful that the rain did begin to fall and we were
able to get a badly needed second cutting.
Farmers in many areas are still dealing with drought
conditions and are buying hay to feed their beef and
dairy cattle.
I'm thankful that we were able to provide hay to a
Texas farmer friend this week and for the
blessings we receive in sharing our bounty.
