Baling hay & wrapping hay with rain on the way. Cow Palace E25

good morning we're done short it's already smoking hot it must be a heyday [Music] well we're giving up on the weather because i think they've changed it three times this morning already from the time we cut that field of hay until we cut another field of hay till now like they just keep adding rain and then taking it away and then add more rain and i i give up we're done with that we are gonna make wet hay instead we're gonna uh bail up wet which means we then have to wrap it tonight so it's gonna be a full day but it's gonna make this a lot less stressful than worrying about whatever the weather changes so jobs we got to do first we got to get the knives sharpened on the baler because i want to run them [Music] [Laughter] we gotta get the baler greased up we've got to get the chains oiled on the baler and then hopefully we can do that in the next hour and a half or so and we can actually get bailing [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] okay [Music] is [Music] [Music] that was cool that's terry terry is our resident hawk terry always comes and helps when we're hanging [Music] 260 bales not too shabby now mom and dad have been working at picking up all the bales and getting set up for reading come rap dad went back to milk so tyler came along he's been picking up bales we're gonna go and help him and mom get these all picked up and then get them wrapped in the next couple hours do this seems to be able to wrap though that's the next big job [Music] must be something about that hay field that we can't do anything without it raining because we're officially rained out to the night and not done try again tomorrow good morning part two i guess well we didn't get their hay wrapped last night of course today though we've got much bluer skies uh supposed to get you know maybe a thunderstorm tonight it's one of those like it is smoking hot today so who knows when a thunderstorm pops up it is that kind of day where you pull the guns out because we're going to move the farmer's tan from here to here very scientific on a hot day like this anyway dad and reid they're going to finish wrapping hay this morning they're working on it now should be done any time i thought we since i haven't given you a barn update in a while i thought we'd walk through a little bit so this is where it's going here a few things that we've confirmed so the mortgage security on the mortgage all of that kind of stuff that paperwork is getting wrapped up uh because we did get our first bill for the barn two uh schooner would have purchased quite a few things just to try to get ahead of these price increases uh so we owe them a significant amount of money actually it could be one of the biggest checks i've ever written that's on the agenda so we gotta get them paid but first we gotta get the mortgage and security all finalized so that should happen in the next week or two here's what we've got is this is the pasture here and i don't know if i mentioned it but there's tile runs that run from up at the highway back this way and they run the whole length of the pasture we've got to tie them off because otherwise we'll just cut those off and it won't drain properly so within the next two to four weeks i would say mike's gonna be in we gotta tile another piece anyway he's going to come in he's going to rip straight across tie all these up and then we'll kind of be ready that way we got an old well here it's a well we actually haven't used for probably a year or two we just had trouble with the pump we use the other main well that we've had for quite a while and this is pretty hard water plus this is where the front of the office milk house go so we've gotta cap this tie it off clear it up do all that that's supposed to be in the next six ish weeks um and then beside that we kind of wait on the bunker get the driveway widened do all that kind of stuff so it is one where you know i said we were kind of hoping april 1st we'd move in now all of a sudden we're into early june so now all of a sudden we're 10 months from maybe moving in three months from actually getting started it's time to hammer down and get a few of these jobs done [Music]
