[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 912165, member: 9115"] Last couple of days I've been getting pastures ready. The temps and season is really early here like a lot of places. I usually figure a May 1 turnout, but if this weather holds and it looks like it's probably gonna', I'll be turning out in 2 weeks. The clover is 3 or 4 inches tall in places now, in a normal year it may not even have sprouted yet. Crown Vetch is the same way. My question, what's gonna' happen this summer if mosisture, etc stay the same? Will we get 6 cuttings of clover in the hayfields? The cool season grasses, mostly fescue and brome, have just exploded this week with temps in the high 70's. Are they gonna' have a longer dormant season? Or will they peter out and mature earlier in the fall, just cuz' they have grown too long? I'd take anyone's thoughts, it may take some special planning for grass this summer or maybe none at all!!!!!!! Never seen anything like it. gs [/QUOTE]
