The sun is supposed to shine the next 10 days and I hope it does or I won’t get the triticale dried down and baled walked out in the field today and it’s chest high

I’m more than happy with this crop looked pretty sad the first of spring a little fertilizer and some weed control went a long ways and a couple perfectly timed rains really thinking it’ll make a second crop again this year

Where do you put the hay or do you sell it right out of the field or do you raise it for grain and bale the straw? Had to look up what triticale is and what it is used for by farmers, still not real clear. Got to be dairy country as I see some silos in top pic.

If you are a Treky you know quadrotriticale is what Tribbles like to eat, see link.. fourth line in "Plot" Lol! We raised some on our farm in Kansas in the late 70's. Was supposed to be the real deal for grinding into the hog feed ration. It didn't really pan out like it was supposed to for whatever reason. For any that are curious without looking it up it is a wheat hybrid, courser, heavier stems and slightly larger kernels.
