[QUOTE="Paperbackslave, post: 696165, member: 13264"] Thanks for the welcomes! And Kenny, Im down extreme south central VA - Near Buggs Island Lake. We got over 1" rain yesterday! :D And what a nice wet year its been. Sure glad to see it since we did lose the entire spring hay cutting to, er, equipment malfunction. Rolled 36 bales last week, with more to go. So whats the best cutting/bushhogging routine to keep your hay fields in the best shape? Probably depends on weather, huh? We had some that we cut this spring (and lost), and just cut again. Pretty nice hay, but more weeds than I like. Then we had a couple more fields that we cut this spring, then cut a couple months ago (thin cutting, but we realllly needed it). Those fields now have a lovely, low weed, crop of nice grass. So - should we be routinely cutting the fields mid year whether they need it or not, for weed control? What if its a dry year? I dont recall so many weeds in the dry years... hmm. [/QUOTE]
