Hay bale tree line storage It is hard to believe but June is almost complete, and summer has officially begun. The weather has put many nerves to the test to say the least, heavy rains, high winds, and dramatic shifts in temperatures have create a high level of stress in farm country. Last Friday featured very heavy winds that caused major damage to trees and structures. On my farm alone, three black locust trees were topped, and three wild cherry trees were split and damaged. For the most part crops fared well through the storm, some wheat did lodge and uncut hay fields did blow down. Speaking of hay, most of the first cutting of hay has been completed after last week’s stretch of nice weather. I want to address the next job in hay production, which is probably just as important as harvesting and baling and that is storage.
