[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 1636784, member: 7795"] If left standing...probably no. Even if you have “new growth” you still have all that old growth in it which is going to dilute the new. Best shot at it would be to clean it off and try for another cut. I know it’s all about location about how many cuttings you can expect. If I had planned on cutting hay at all this year...meaning fertilized for it...I’d be looking at least 4 cuttings. 3 of those I could have counted on 10% or better protein. 4th would be the lessor because 3rd would be coming off now. Heat and drier conditions between now and September makes for slower regrowth for the 4th cut. [/QUOTE]
