That’s right! Fluffing.
It’s been a tough haying season in the valley. Bunches of farmers and ranchers are struggling to get their hay up without getting rain on it. So far, we haven’t harvested any of third cutting without some damage. Above, hubby is “fluffing” rained-on hay — turning it over, fluffing it up — to allow it to dry faster. When rains hit nearly every day, it’s the only way to speed up the drying time. Hopefully, the weatherman is wrong, and we can get this field baled before it rains again!
We do have much to be thankful for, however. Just last week, folks from Texas bought a huge load of our hay. Ranchers there are so in need of our thoughts and prayers.
