What is the result if you cut Bermuda for hay shortly after a heavy killing frost?
Thanks
Thanks
No ding dong, but I will.You've had a heavy killing frost?
You put more effort into planning your hay cutting than the Biden administration does into pulling out of a war zone.No ding dong, but I will.
I am the odd duck that tries to get 4 cuttings. It is impossible to know when that frost comes, sometime in mid October. I always tried to cut as close before frost as possible.
What if I cut after?
Cutting pretty much any grass after frost you either want to cut immediately before the grass wilts or let it die and get dry. Just like dropped hay. You'll lose some quality but it's done all the time.No ding dong, but I will.

Wow. That makes planning that last cut easy. Frost. Dry. CutCutting pretty much any grass after frost you either want to cut immediately before the grass wilts or let it die and get dry. Just like dropped hay. You'll lose some quality but it's done all the time.
Cut Johnson grass last year after frost.
Yes made decent hay.Did the Johnson grass feed ok?
I've heard there can be a problem with Prussic acid. Especially if it hasn't cured correctly..
As far as Bermuda idk!
Man that would suck!Yes made decent hay.
Purrsic acid is more predictable than frost. It is no concern in dry hay.
As far as Bermuda. The largest documented case off cattle killed by purrsic acid I'm aware of came from a pure field of Tifton 85 Bermuda...it can happen in any grass.
Was that because they put so much nitrogen to it?The largest documented case off cattle killed by purrsic acid I'm aware of came from a pure field of Tifton 85 Bermuda
Purrsic acid isn't caused by nitrogen fertilizer. That's nitrate poisoning . Two different things...Was that because they put so much nitrogen to it?
That link said they ate fresh TiftonPurrsic acid isn't caused by nitrogen fertilizer. That's nitrate poisoning . Two different things...
Experts: Texas cattle deaths due to prussic acid are ‘isolated incident’ - Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory
Texas AgriLife Extension Service experts said Tuesday the deaths of 15 cattle in Bastrop County recently were likely an isolated event and that no further problems are anticipated. “There’s a lot of information and misinformation that continues to circulate about this recent isolated case of...tvmdl.tamu.edu
Yes .......That link said they ate fresh Tifton
Yes... purrsic acid poisoning is not a concern in dry hay.That link said they ate fresh Tifton
You are a real piece of workYes... purrsic acid poisoning is not a concern in dry hay.
Nitrate poisoning can be.
Study it like it's a political conspiracy and you'll be a expert in no time..lol
I state what I Know.You are a real piece of work
The problem is; you don't know what you don't know.I state what I Know.
If you cant understand the difference there's nothing I can do to help you .
So where am I wrong... please tell everyone.The problem is; you don't know what you don't know.
I can't give an answer to that question, but I'll offer something to consider. Could cutting that late slow down the regrowth in the spring? I don't know the answer to that, but it's what popped in y head when I read your post.What is the result if you cut Bermuda for hay shortly after a heavy killing frost?
