Hay ?

[JHH]

Should I just turn the cows in on my hay ground? I cant get it dry enough to bale it and the orchard grass looks like straw. I give up!

If I turn the cows in it I can electric fence it off and keep them rotated.

probably one of your options as I would assume all the cool season grasses have headed out

either that or brushog it and try to get a fall cutting

I am in the same situation as you are. The hay guy showed up today and started mowing and I was really surprised how green the undergrowth was. Try mowing and see what you think, it may be better than you think even with the cool season grasses headed out. Getting it dry also depends on your haying equipment, but I'm still trying. After all it looks like we have two days this week before it rains again. gs

Got it put up. Not very good quality but it beats a snow bank all to He!!

115 bales from 27 acres so that is 4.2?? per acre. Raining again right now. I didnt get it under the tarp hope it doesnt rain to much I would like to get it covered up but I probably wont be able to.

Got 39 acres put up with nary a drop...141 bales. Gives me 247 for the year. Have another 8 acres I plan on baling. Another 24 I could bale, but will probably graze out. Especially if it doesn't rain in the next day or two.
