  • A tough year, but finally a break to make some good progress. 2023 is still irreparably off-kilter and painfully behind schedule, but it's nice to celebrate some wins when they happen.

    We got hammered with rain this summer in Nova Scotia. I made 1100 in July and squeezed 800+ out in early August(3 day stretch)and all the fields have been soup since. Terrible year and there will be a shortage of quality horse hay. We have about 1200-1400 bales worth standing and don't think we will get it tied up.

      Ugh, so sorry to hear that. Have been struggling a lot in these parts too, some worse than others. Just seems like a terrible year everywhere, though I’m lucking out recently and making up *some* ground. I hope some nice weather makes it up your way soon!

      @@windrowfarm we will see what Sept brings. It's nice this week but down to 46 at nights with high of 75. Be ok if ground wasn't saturated.
