[QUOTE="farmerjohn, post: 303519, member: 2593"] I disagree. I typically bale 40 acres per year. Most years I get 3 cuttings. I have coastal bermuda and my protien content varies from 10-14%. With hay this good, you don't need to feed expensive range cubes or protien supplements. For quality hay, you need to cut it every 4-5 weeks. Try that with a custom operator. They never come when they are suppose to, or they want to wait until the grass is 3' tall and worthless (so they can have more hay to bale and make more money). They also want to scalp my ground (so as to make more money). I cut my coastal about 4" tall. It greens back up in a few days v.s. everyone else that cuts theirs dirt high. If you are serious about quality hay, buy your own equipment. If you are going to bale garbage that is 8 weeks old, full of weeds and no fertilization or chemical program, you are just as well to buy someone's elses garbage hay. [/QUOTE]
