We hit 22 degrees over night. The pastures and hay where really greening up. I have seen this happen in years past and it really stuns the crop. The grass hay not as bad as the alfalfa. The first cutting can be 50% less than normal. So the "cheap" hay prices may not be here for long. I know I am going to the hay sale this week and buying grass hay to tub grind. If I am wrong and have a good hay crop then I will sell some "good" hay. If it is short than I will not be buying on a high market.
We had an inch of rain this week and then this cold spell, so the corn planters will be in the shed for a while longer.
