If only the weather will cooperate

[Jogeephus]

If the weather will cooperate this should be some good hay. I'm doing an experiment to see just how cheap I can make hay and am not sure if its the experiment or the unseasonable rains that should get credit. I could have let it go another week but I saw some army worms and it looks like we will have a dry window so I pulled the trigger.

I think you planned wisely. But you know what they say about the best laid plan....

Only a 20% chance of rain for the next few days so .......yeah.....its gonna rain about day Tuesday when I need to be baling it.

I need 4 more days to be 4 weeks since last cutting. It looks good but no way to get it done before Thursday and now they are calling for rain weekend

Can you eloborate on the experiment?

If you saw army worms you did the right thing cutting, they can ruin a hay field over night. What kind of hay is that? Looks good.

Its Tift 85. Ideally I'd let it grow another week but I'm afraid to risk it because all I have is midquality hay and I need some feed hay. This should be some really high quality hay if I can get it up.

Bigfoot, this is my second year doing this and don't want to say much because its a sweet deal but the supply is limited so I need to keep it under my hat. I once shared some info on a dirt cheap grain source only to have the rug pulled out from under me by the person I shared the info with so I'm hesitant to say much other than shouldn't have more than $8/roll in this hay.

I completely understand.
