[QUOTE="Rhune, post: 913249, member: 13033"] Bumping this thread with an update. Late last October I brush hogged the field. Did not apply anything. [img]http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac138/dpatrick461/brushhoggin-1.jpg[/img] The field is actually looking nice. Currently very wet, but I have not seen any significant weeds (few early thistles which I will 24D by backpack). No signs of the butter cup. [img]http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac138/dpatrick461/Springfield.jpg[/img] I'm beginning to think that I might actually grow some hay this year. If thats the case, I would assume that I need to start lining up someone to cut it. I am hoping to work a deal with someone who has the equipment. Something like they cut/bale and keep half. I have never done this before. Couple questions: 1. Anyone know how are these cooperative agreements are normally structured? I read somewhere on this forums that they normally charge half and expect to buy the other half at decent price. But I'm sure the size of the field and quality of the hay plays a big role. My field is about 25 acres and accessed by a paved road. 2. Is anyone even going to want this hay? Its Fawn fescue (enodophyte free) and clover. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
