[QUOTE="Jabes0623, post: 1368311, member: 23051"] Long story short; I have a 22 acre field that I intended to hire out for baling this summer. Guy ditches me last minute. I don't have a round baler & I didn't have anymore room to store squares at the time so I just let the field stand intending to brushog it when I got around to it. Well I've still never got around to it & I'm having a new barn built starting next week so I'll have room for the squares. So I'm wondering if I should just go ahead & cut & bale the field? I know the hay won't be of very high quality, but due to a very dry Aug/Sept I've been forced to start feeding hay already & it's entirely possible I could need the hay before all is said & done. Now obviously I could buy hay but that's a fairly expensive endevour & I'd prefer to avoid it. The stand is mixed native cool season grasses with a little clover & obviously after growing all year some weeds. Though I'd probably go through & hand cut the worst of the weeds before mowing. So is it worth baling? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
