Hay Season 2017

[skyhightree1]

its that time again to share pics of your hay season... I need to be cutting now but too much rain...

I am pretty sure by the time I can get into the field these oats will be past the prime ... oh well beats a snowball sandwich.

You could send me your rain.

Oats are looking good, we need to loose the 4 or 5 inchs of snow before we can look at seeding oats about here

I will trade you this weeks rain gladly for 2 weeks of rainless .

Calling for 5+ inches of snow this coming week. Hopefully after that it warms up and things turn green. Hoping to get some early hay or haylage done in June this year.

oats are ready if the rain can hold off

Just got off the phone with by bass fishing partner/hay man he is cutting mine today.
Been too wet up until now and a crazy year. Three days of winter three months of spring, night time temperatures have just recently started staying above 60.

been too iffy on the weather to cut oats but hay ive cut and baled some already. This weathers crazy for sure supposed to be hot and sunny next week

 

[chevytaHOE5674]

Jealous of you guys cutting hay and having oats ready already. I haven't even planted oats yet and our grass is barely green. Night time temps got into the teens earlier this week. Hoping to have enough grass to start grazing by June this year.

O well it gives me extra time to get the mower, rake, baler, and wrapper all gone through.

A few guys have wrapped some already, but only seen a couple other fields baled so far. Looks like a good forecast starting Monday, so hopefully will be able to get some mowed down. I'd say there will be a lot of tractors in fields around here next week.

Oats are a bit more forgiving than wheat when making hay. You should be ok. Mice might get some some the heads though. The rest will just fall off. :lol2:

My trouble with oats is between the turkeys, geese, and sandhill cranes there isn't usually much left to make hay out of or run through the combine.

Oats does well here, but been too wet to plant yet this year.
