I cut hay for my horses.
I used to use the rule that if I had 4 or 5 days where the chance of rain was no greater than 20%, I'd cut.
One year, using that rule, I cut my hay. It dried for one day, then the rain started. The rain was heavy and continued for five straight days.
Now I'm a bit more cautious.
I am wondering if anyone here has a rule they stick to that has worked well.
When is the chance of rain too great for your comfort?
