How hot was it?

<< < (2/2)

Trapper Rob:
We had 103 with high humidity wasn't fun making hay.

Hawkdancer:
The  relative humidity was at about 10% or so!  So dry the rabbits wanted me to fill their canteens!  We are ok water wise in our area but the rest of the state is in drought status, a lot of it extreme.  Got 9 wildlfires going right now south of us, most big and getting bigger!
Tracker,
Making hay ain't fun if the temp is over about 80F - but I don't remember it ever being that cool when it was time to make hay!  I do remember the going rate for"putting up" hay was $.10 a bale for a crew with a truck!  Didn't get in on that detail, though! >:D

BowEd:
I've been peeking at the forecast for the Mo Jam time period.I hope the weatherman is right.Pretty pleasant forecast.
Making hay prices have dramatically changed opposed to when I baled 3000 small squared bales a summer.I used to bale small squares for people for .30 a bale.Nowadays it's a 1 man operation from inside an air conditioned cab but the price to own those nice big air conditioned tractors and equipment is very expensive.
