Hay

While we were gone this weekend, the neighbors' farmer cut down the hay in their field. Chris was a little bummed because he was thinking of asking them if they would cut the hay on the other side of the creek for us the next time they are out there. It's only about an acre, but it would give us a few bales to store away for the winter, since our hogs (yes, I said hogs) go through it so quickly in the winter. Well, Chris stopped over there tonight and talked to the farmer when he always bailing the hay. He said he'd be happy to hay our field and that he can do it next week. We were both so excited! I'm sure it won't be nearly enough, but it's kind of nice to be able to use some of our own resources to get our pigs through the winter.
