I'd rather for it to be a little too dry than a little too high moisture when I bale it. [Reply]  [No Email]

It will dry better and feed into baler better. [Reply]  [No Email]

I try to cut at boot stage, the variety I plant is normally at least 4 feet tall at boot if we had pretty fair rain, back when we used to square bale everything it would often make 150 or more 40 - 45 lb. twine tied bales to the acre, this is in North louisiana.

Sorry I overlooked the "small & Please indicate where your from" in your first post. BTW where are you located?? Coyote Flats(newest town in TX) 30 miles South of Ft Worth. I've lived in the country all my life and wanted to die in the country. But they voted me to be in a town GRRR. This post was edited by Tx Jim at 04:06:07 07/29/12. [Reply]  [No Email]

Whatever you do in bale size, make sure you got the right moisture content and don't stack them in very big lots with as much room in between as you can.... remember my neighbor last year, big round, too moist, row next to row and 2 high in a weedy patch.... needless to say nothing but 16 bales out of approx 120 left, and we had 3 tractors plus 2 5t grasstrucks on it .....(it rekindled while he held watch, fell asleep) [Reply]  [No Email]

Always fertilized according to soil test. Typically got 5-6 (1500# brb) per acre on first cutting in West TN, which translates to about 110-125 squares per acre; lesser amounts for 2nd (and sometimes 3rd) cuttings. [Reply]  [No Email]
