When we had a late winter/early summer drought, I knew it would be wet for haymaking which up here for us usually happens in July, one cut. Most years we manage to get some sort of harvest in - I can only remember one year we failed and that was before we had our own hay making equipment.
This year, it has rained and rained and rained here in southern Scotland, especially on our hill, even when there's been sunshine around. If the ground is dry enough to get machinery on then we might cut it today or tomorrow and risk that it will get rained on a few times before we get it dry, or it's lost.
Others around cut and wrap but we don't have the facilities to handle big bales and have never used silage or haylage.
Has there been a reasonable hay crop elsewhere in the country? I can see that we will be in the market for 100 or so small square bales of good hay
