We were not farmers when we got married 30 years ago. We got married in the 3rd week of May. Exactly the time of year when a farmer in southern Missouri needs to be baling the first cutting of hay. Armand mowed about 6 acres of grass on Wednesday, the 1st of June. That is really late. We are blessed that this cutting is so good. I've heard farmers talk about tons/acre. I have no idea how to figure that. All I know is that these strong young men put over 400 bales of hay in our barn today.
These kids worked SO hard today. It was nearly 100*F and the hay had to get picked up. There were much needed breaks and a couple gallons of Orange Juice downed, but they got the job done. Bechard Family Farm wants to say THANK YOU to all these young people who worked in this miserable heat.
