First Cut, Second Cut, and Sink Holes (Oh My) (2023)

Baling a small but risky double hay batch in August, trying to squeak in both a field of first cut and a field of second cut between rains. Apparently 2023 is also the year where the ground opens up and tries to swallow you and/or your tractor as well.
