Gary, Here in Central Texas, The general rule is Mid -dough to late-dough. I prefer early to mid dough. anything later and you get into a grain situation, and it will shatter out on you. Surenough be laying it down before the stalk starts turning yellow. Also if cut later the grain creats an even worse rodent problem. One can use the same principal on wheat hay too. I may cut mine a shade too early but, I prefer this as to haveing shattered out grain on the ground after baleing! And that is protien that is just LOST. Only the birds and rodents and such get. Hope this helps. Later, John A.
