In my immediate vicinity, it looks respectable, could be taller like in other years, but there is a nice crop of orchard grass and other grasses, just right for a nice crop of green hay, and with a window of good weather to get it as well, had I the equipment, it would have been cut yesterday, a nice first cutting as is, with the heads out maybe a week or so, not so thick you could not dry it down, our horses further north would enjoy this stuff. It's always been my preference to take cuttings like this, not as thick or tall, dries faster, less bleaching, but let it go with these kinds of grasses, it loses quality rapidly. If the weather aligns again in a month or so, there's a nice 2nd cut, and you may get a 3rd, usually of better feed quality, however... weather dictates all of it, but it sure is nice to see that lush green grass in the small field near my house, you can tell the snow added nitrogen, parts of the field, in the previous year, were not as green, needs fertilizer, and probably lime, but I've seen some really nice stands in this little piece.
