I remember in the late 60's after my return from Uncle Sams guided tour I came home one morning about 3:30 (we lived on a farm about 10 miles south of town) I saw my neighbor out in his field looked ta me like he was balin hay. I saw him a couple days later and asked him what he had been doing. He said "balin hay". WTH! He told me it was so dry that he would wait until the dew formed on the hay so it would not crumble when he was balin it. If I remember correctly we had less than 1/2" of precipitation between Dec and that next July. And it was hot. wM1
