Morning Gents,
My hay needs its second cut, but it has been awful dry here for a while.
Some of it is on river -bottom gravel and there seems no moisture in it at all.
Would it be best to leave the second cut on, to prevent further scorching?....or lop it off before it shrivels up?
Also, on the clay -land the crop looks much better, but again, is it best to leave it for now? I don't want to hurt the stand by adding extra stress to it.
I can normally figure it out, but this year has me ina quandry!
Any help appreciated.
We are in Western Alberta, (Canada) We often second -cut as late as Sept/Oct.
