[QUOTE="talltimber, post: 1429466, member: 22236"] I would agree, if it's by choice. I only know one guy that has the equipment to put up hay when it's time, almost regardless of weather. He's got plenty tied up in equipment that most can't or won't pay for. He's a farmer, with a background/warmup situation and uses it in his mix. With very few exceptions, hay made in the first half of May here is haylage/baleage. Not necessarily by choice, but by the weather. We just don't have very many days here suitable for making dry hay when the fescue really needs to be put up. And the weathermen don't help much. I waited a day at a time to mow mine (after the baler man said he was getting close to getting to me). Calling for rain the rest of the week, daily percentages of 30 or more. Never rained a drop. Wasted a week. [/QUOTE]
