[QUOTE="edrsimms, post: 669482, member: 10970"] Well you need to cut it with a [b]mower conditioner preferably and I prefer the MoCo type with the rollers[/b] so you can really press that stem--- lay it flat [b](not windrowed)[/b] and [b]leave about 2-3 inches in stubble so it will lay on top of the stubble and there is air circulation beneath [/b]it as well as it will dry even faster-----hope for several dry hot days. One thing though--- [b]1. If you used more than 50 units of N/acre pre-plant, I would strongly recommend getting a plant material sample before cutting your Millet. < 1000 ppm is ideal.(Nitrates) 2. If it has been dry since planting your Millet and you have used too much N there is a good chance you will be baling a hay that is unsuitable for any cow.. High in Nitrates[/b] and will be your undoing. Hope that helps [/QUOTE]
