Mostly fescue, some wheat that was overmature, bermuda
Over on this side of the Ohio, it has been tough harvesting hay. Hay harvest is behind last year. If this rain continues, we are going to have a repeat of last year.cowrancher75 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2019 5:15 ami cut around 20 acres or so of where the cows have already been.. got rained on last night but hoping to get it up tomorrow. I was looking at the main hay fields and its up to the tractors hood.. gonna need 4 nice days for that to dry.
we had one decent window but the fields were soaked. finally had another chance.. just had 2 nice days with a heavy wind.. if you had a conditioner and were on it you could make it in that window but i didn't have the time to get it up. I just checked out some hay fields and they still look great. it'll be interesting to see how these new grasses do with this long growing spell.Bright Raven wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2019 5:29 amOver on this side of the Ohio, it has been tough harvesting hay.

The growing season has been expanded at least a month. We should be starting to see some of the pasture going dormant but it looks like early May pasture.cowrancher75 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2019 7:16 amwe had one decent window but the fields were soaked. finally had another chance.. just had 2 nice days with a heavy wind.. if you had a conditioner and were on it you could make it in that window but i didn't have the time to get it up.

over 6 bales a acre,,pretty good
We had 2 days with a stiff breeze, no humidity, and the uv was at max. I was still a little nervous about some of the low spots , but saved them for last. And of course the weather liars made me rush for no reason, had about half a tenth yesterday morning and nothing today. Had heavy rains predicted. Glad we got it up, but I would have preferred it being just a bit drier.cowrancher75 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2019 5:15 ami cut around 20 acres or so of where the cows have already been.. got rained on last night but hoping to get it up tomorrow.
