[QUOTE="Devin, post: 45953, member: 366"] I have a field that has got alot of Johnsongrass in it. It has been pretty dry here in western KY for about 3 to 4 weeks. I would like to cut this for hay just in case I need it as I am already feeding a little hay. I have heard that Johnsongrass can be toxic after a frost ( I guess it's prussic acid?) I have also heard that this can be present in drought conditions as well. I was told by another farmer that if I cut the Johnsongrass, the curing process will release any toxins that might be present. I am not sure. Will I be ok to cut and bale now or do I need to wait for a rain? Any advice would be appreciated. Devin [/QUOTE]
