Well I started to rake today. Raked everything I cut on Sunday.

This is the hay rake. It's old like the haybine and the farmer,but works pretty good. The farmer down the road has a rake that he can raise and lower with hydraulics instead of by hand and is equal to eight rakes like ours.

Before raking.

After raking.

Hopefully I can finish all the raking tomorrow. It will depend on how warm it gets and whether we get any wind. If I can rake tomorrow I can start baling on Thursday and finish on Friday. It's supposed to get into the 80's for the rest of the week and that will help along with no rain. Cross you fingers.
