Marcus - Sorry I didn't respond earlier, but I'm glad your kids got the chips and are happy with them. Those are the easy ones, but I'll probably manage to pick up a few more. Wish I had known they collected them sooner, could have had a bunch more from different states I went through last year!

Correct. And the conditioners pinch the hay depending on stalk thickness and moisture. It helps it mature once it is cut.

It's all good, Tracy. I still need to make or buy them displays. I have an idea but I need someone with upholstery skills to help...which means talking to my cousin. He's not a bad guy, just talks A LOT! He will show me every upholstery project he has done or is doing before he'll start on mine. He used to talk about his 1979 Ford Fairmont he was restoring. Who restores a Fairmont? Oh well, that's the price we pay for family favors.

A windrow that tight would never dry without molding here buddy, even being conditioned. Just way too humid. I've been wanting to get a tedder to help spread it out and turn it over to help drying time. Still would take at least 3 days of hot sun to be ready to bale.
