Rough ride

The field I started working in yesterday is very rough and full of rocks. I had to replace 8 of 14 mower blades and turn another 3 over before I stopped yesterday evening. I've also got a sore back and neck this morning, with at least another 3 hours worth of cutting to go. We're also going to have to push harder to get it raked, baled, and wrapped since the weatherman is now giving a good chance of rain for Thursday. One thing's for sure, though...there's enough forage out there to be well worth the aggravation!
