You said you don t need the hay so that leaves a few options
Hay removes more potash from the ground than any other crop, you can run a rotary cutter over it chopping up the hay for it to rot and replenish some of the nutrients in the ground
I wouldn t cut it with a hay mower if I was planning on a second cutting, you would end up with a lot of the dead stuff in your next cutting
For hay in a normal dry summer I would leave it till August or later for rain to induce new growth and increase nutrients
If you ve been getting the rains we are getting there is plenty of new tender grass under that dried out top grass and I d cut it for hay if I neede it or had a market for the hay
I ve got 10 acres I didn t cut when I was doing first cutting, it as a little thin, so I m going to run the batwing mower over it as soon as it drys up a little, we ll get a better cutting from it later
