[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1721552, member: 1715"] Hay making is a bit odd - - in that both growth and harvest are very weather dependent, and harvest is driven by repetitive per acre machine costs. So you see a lot of variation in approaches here: - - low input hay bined one cutting grass system. Could work if rent is low and you are a good mechanic, but production is so low that... Usually a hobby operation - - high input disc bined three or four cutting alfalfa mix system. Could work if you have enough production to cover the overhead. Usually a dairy focused operation. - - middle ground is haying some of the spring flush and then grazing. Should work if you have a custom operator. [/QUOTE]
