[QUOTE="dun, post: 696872, member: 34"] No matter how wet a year we really only get one good clean cutting. By the time it gets growing good after the first cut the weather turns hot and the grass almost stops growing. In the fall when we get good growth the summer weeds have sprouted like crazy and I won;t put up or feed hay that is that poor/weedy. So here is what we do, we graze the fall growth for a while, then late winter or very early spring we BH the grass fairly close (about 6 inches). That way when we do cut the hay the weeds have broken down enough that the hay isn;t full of the junk. The plan for next year is to spray Grazon P+D a couple of weeks after the first cutting then either fall/winter graze it the way we do now or if it has kept the weeds down the way I hope we'll cut it about 3-4 inches high and bale it.
