I have some hay to rake and bale this morning,as soon as thats done I get to turn bean ground into wheat ground, I usually dont rotate my crops that way, but with the drought, and as mild as it has been this fall I am a little afraid of row crop next year. Although if we do get a little rain I think I am going to give sunflowers a shot.

I am glad to see your post Ray, I was wondering the other day as I was mowing around my Trefoil If I can mow it off for the winter if it would hurt it? I have a friend who is raising beef calves and needs some hay, it may produce quite a few bales if I mow it close, also he might be a hay customer in the future, a place to go with the trefoil. We have had a couple of hard freezes, I just did not know if I should leave follage on for the winter.

As long as the trefoil is not growing anymore you can mow it. I am grazing one of my fields right now. The leaves after being frosted will be real fragile, so rake and bale with a lot of care so you can get a nice leafy bale. A trefoil bale looks like a bale of leaves, you can hardly see a stem, it also has a real sweet smell when it is in the mow.

I am also mowing a grass field tomorrow, firgure it is freeze dried enough I can round bale it and use it as bedding/feed.

That is done a lot around here. Some times some farmers hire an airplane to broad cast wheat over the top of soybeans before they are harvested. Otherwise, most just go in right after the combine and drill em' in.
