Is that sunshine on the corner of the picture? Forgot what it looks like so not sure?

10% chance of precipitation going to bed last night, woke up to a white coating and looked like 2-3imches before it quit at noon. Got into the mid 30s, didn?t all melt away yet. Had a killing Frost a couple nights ago, don?t think anything will be planted around here until April. Just kinda hope some more harvest happens.....

Only a little corn harvested, no beans harvested, fields are soaked from inches of rain previous.

Nice to see dirt clouds and I think that is what sun used to look like?

I hope you can get the harvest in that?s kinda scary and nerve racking to have crop out and no sign of weather that will cooperate
 
I'm a Miner, not a Farmer, so . . . .

Do you harvest the crop for forage before it goes to seed, or do you harvest the seed and use the remains for forage?
 

Do you have a market for it? It looks like it should sell for more than plain wheat if you have a market.
 
SVcummins -- Thank You for the reply. I had already read the Wiki blog before I wrote my question, as I had never heard of Triticale before. But I'm still a little confused. It would seem to me that you would want to get the most advantage out of your crop, so I would assume that you would let it go to seed and harvest the grain (ready cash crop if you have a market, if not then you have seed for the next crop) , then you rake up the stalks for forage.

Or have I got everything WRONG and it just doesn't work that way.

Thank You for your time and patience with me, I'm trying to learn.
 
It?s bred as forage crop you cut it when it?s green but headed out so you get the feed value of the seed head plus the green plant stalk . You could let it ripen and combine the grain and bale the straw like you would wheat or barley but it?s cheaper to put it up like hay becuse if you were to seperate the seed from the stalk you would then have to grind the grain and mix it with other forage becuse a cow can?t eat just whole seed kernels does that make sense
