I was just hoping you didn't have any alfalfa cut but not yet baled...
Maybe some rain heading your way?
Looks like it could get wet later this evening.

Wunderground is nuts. They show we won't get hit until 7:00 a.m. Saturday. All that precip west of Wichita must be traveling VERY slowly. That's a heck of a line from Lubbock to Central Nebraska. Looks like OKC will probably get hit as well.
We finally got our crud baled about 15 hours ahead of another three inches of rain. Haven't even thought about mowing anything else. What's happening now is going to make the wheat and oat fields so wet that the combines won't be able to run once the heads are dry. Those who have just planted soybeans are watching large patches drown out.
The joys of gambling! Who needs casinos when you have production agriculture? Which reminds me. I read that Harrah's Casino & Hotel in Tunica, Mississippi is going belly up from too many other casinos being built, resulting in nearly 1000 employees being put out of work. We spent three days and $150 there several years ago.
Agriculture
As you are well aware farming is the only business in the world where you buy retail and sell wholesale. One year you make good money and the next you lose two years worth of profits. Farming, even on a "small" scale is definitely BIG business now.
Kinda like the old story.
A city feller was driving down a country road and got his new Cadillac stuck. An old farmer came driving by on his John Deere and offered to help. He got down, pulled out a chain and started tying it to the bumper of the Cadillac. "HEY, said the city feller. You aren't going to tie that tractor to my $60,000 Cadillac are you?" The old farmer started untying the chain and said, "Nope, I ain't going to tie my $150,000 tractor to your $60,000 Cadillac." And he just drove off.
