I just cut my first field today, looks like good weather for a week, so I'm going at it full bore, plus seeding a field as well, so I'll have my hands full. Last year we had a really bad june, and I was stuck waiting into july for the first cut, which made it overmature and it didn't come up for the second cut... not this year... I would be able to wait a little still as far as maturity, the alfalfa hasn't really started blooming yet, but I can't get another pass of irrigation over it without it lodging, so it'll have to be early.
