Harvesting
Nov. 8th, 2015 07:49 pmI had a Haycartes chat with Moondancer and that part of the Society talk is now all set. It should take Moondancer about ten minutes to explain the basics of what drove her to go looking for Winter, how she knew where to look, and a bit about her journey. It will be a bare-bones version of the lecture she will give three days from now at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. I'll be there!
Ponies that had been out mowing their fields while we were in Yakyakistan are already starting to bale the third cut. We've had clear blue skies, a light wind and pleasantly warm, dry days. The cut timothy stems in those first fields to be mowed are nice and dry, they don't smell moist and they don't discolor when rolled between the hooves. Granny Smith uses the oven method to test the Apple Farm hay, just to be sure. Applejack is out raking and turning her crop of timothy hay, it should be dry enough by tomorrow.
