Seat of our pants.Things like: if it rains on Monday,it will rain three days during the week.We never mowed that week if it rained on Monday.We still got a lot of hay "washed".It was hard work,but if you didn't know any better and was a kid,it was kind of fun.Lots of buddies to help and you got a lot of fried chicken and iced tea on the days hay was made.Swimming that evening was pure heaven.Helped some of the nicks and scratehes on the arms heal a little quicker in the chlorine water. The landlord had an office in downtown Indainapolis and would call as soon as it started raining down there.We would go out and stand all the bales on end that we couldn't get on wagons.The custom baler guy would only drop them on the ground.He could get a lot more baling done that way and a lot of custom workas well.He could get about 3,000 baled a day that way with that big New Holland baler pulled by a Farmall H.I can still hear that Wisconsin engine begging for mercy to this day.
