...parts of the windrows would break loose and go rolling across the meadow. They looked like giant caterpillars being rolled over and over...

Heh, I'll bet that DID look strange. I've never seen that happen before, but then we don't get that kind of wind around here very often. I hope they do manage to get it baled, but if they don't, it won't hurt it too bad to get wet as long as they let it dry out again before they bale it. Some people, specifically prople with insulin resistant horses like my Tennessee, like to get hay that's been rained on. It reduces the non-soluble carbs by quite a bit and keeps them from having to soak their hay if the NSC level is too high.

Huh, I didn’t know that. I knew hay that had a been rained on lost a lot of nutrition value, but that it was still OK.

We are having 30 mph winds that are suppose to last all day.
