Rich, that dry winter we had sure was odd. Back in the end of march and most of april, we got dry sunny days, the ground hardened up like a dry spell in summer, my just spit firewood dried up quick, the hay grasses were stunted, but the orchard grass sure did top out in a hurry, I saw tops before May!
I think the early first cut and or 2nd cut type hay are the highest in nutrition, and would prefer to take it then, vs waiting til its tall, stalky, and or the heads start to tan, but right now those other grasses have almost caught up, and the orchard and 2 other grasses are still nice and green, just right, but we only had 2 opportunities to cut and bale given the weather so far, rain has caught up and we are saturated, and its humid out. Right now the yield would be at the highest, and the nutrition the best.
Heres a few shots, and you'll appreciate this, I've done nothing to these fields except cut them with rotary/brush hog, after a few years, I don't think I could have planted and have them as good LOL !!!
I'd love to bale this stuff too, just don't have the equipment, it would make a few hundred bales if I could get it all.
