Address Impending Rain and Protect Baled Hay
At 7:59 in
Make it While the sun shines...with a hurricane on the horizon!!
What happens here
After all available hay has been baled from the ground, immediately assess the weather conditions. The farmer observes a storm front with visible rain approximately five miles away, heading directly towards his field. Rain on freshly baled hay, especially without a 'tedder' (equipment to spread wet hay for drying), can cause mildew and mold, ruining the hay. The immediate action is to secure all equipment (tractor, baler, utility vehicle, camera gear) and head home, hoping the rain does not severely impact the completed bales or the remaining hay in the field.
Goal: With all hay baled from the ground, the farmer observes a severe storm approaching, which threatens the quality of the newly formed hay bales.
