[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 173219, member: 3162"] Dun, you got it. The most coastal I have ever baled on 7 acres of river bottom is 22 bales, but that was highly fertilized horse quality(no Johnson grass). If I let it go another two weeks, the numbers change, its stemmy and cow quality - not that I mind or label it. I don't own a horse. I simply like feeding good hay to my cattle. But heck, a week makes a difference in the number of bales. How the heck can anyone answer such a question without knowing soil, fertilizer, predict temperature fluctuation, irrigation etc? My field varies but I want it cut when its right to cut it and that has nothing to do with volume but more with nutritional value which means something totally different. The best thing to do is talk to the Ag agent and decide what kind of quality you want in your hay (protein value etc) High protein means cutting it at the right time which has nothing to do with volume.
