It's gettin that time again. Twice a year at least I watch enough weather to qualify as Willard Scott's replacement. And according to weather.com, it's gonna rain until the end of time here. Hay is one of the most aggravating things in the world to deal with.
Why do I worry so much about grass?

I have to agree with you on that. Usual hay season here is the second week of June - regular as can be. This year the hay is being cut now. We had a warm winter so everything was a few weeks early, then one of the wettest Aprils in years.
I'm down to 5 acres now, so it doesn't matter so much.

Yeah my usual hay time in this part of the country (KY) is late may or early june. My grass is ready right now thanks to the April monsoon. I hate having to wait on the rain.
Admit it, you're just mad cause you've got that fancy new baler and haven't played with it yet. LOL!
Yeah, I finally created an account.

Yeah it's a Vermeer Rebel 5410. I will send up a pic just as soon as I get it out of that dark shed. I had a Hesston and let's just say that I got to crawl up inside of that baler with a knife more times than I want to remember.
I have a Vermeer baler myself. I really like it alot. When I get ready for another one it will be a Vermeer.
Here In nth Ga, folks were cutting 2 weeks ago and had to wait a few days between showers to dry out so's can start their baling, and now hay is very abundant here, The DOT here have no funds for cutting the right-of-way and it has grown 4 ft tall, I know a few people who work for the state DOT and county rd. maintenance dept. and I suggest to them why not they cut and bale the grass from the right of ways, and put it up for when they do road work or shoulder buildups, and then they wouldn't have to spend tax payers money purchasing hay,
2 months ago I purchased a 5 ft roll from a local farmer it was some of his last supply from last year he give me a good deal for only 20.00 I needed it to cover some ground work I had been doing, It had enough seed in it that I didn't bother to lay any out, if I had of went and purchsed this amount of seed it would have well cost me over 50.00 ....
now this grass looks better than my front lawn, and I've spent many hundreds & hundreds $$$ on overseeding and fertilizing the front lawn with KY31/10-10-10....... and done nothing more than stroll out the straw in the back yard and walla! nice tall grass in 8 weeks.....
