We cut ours a little over a week ago and baled it up. That was a 3rd cutting and it was 4 1/2 weeks after 2nd crop. We're planning to cut it again right after a killing frost as it won't grow anymore after that and it won't hurt anything.
We've never been able to get it dried down since we started cutting 4th crop like this, but we chop it and mix it with the corn when we chop it.
Some feilds aren't tall enough to bother cutting so we leave those alone, but they are normally on their way out and will end up being plowed under after 1st crop the next spring or the one after that.
There is a feild right next to my yard that was just cut yesterday by the owner, and they chopped it today. It was already the 4th crop off it, and if enough grows back I'm sure they'll take a 5th. We've got atleast another 3 weeks before we really have a solid chance of a killing frost, but it seems like the killing one had been more into October lately.
