[QUOTE="B&M Farms, post: 1038237, member: 15666"] I usually start cutting mid morning. The experts say the sugar and starch levels in forage rise as the day goes along then the plant uses them at night growing. That said I guess the best time is to cut late in the afternoon but if your hay gets rained on then you just lost even more. I would rather cut early and get some drying time that first day. Here in east texas a weather forecast longer than 2 days is a crap shoot most of the time. [/QUOTE]
