[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 842506, member: 122"] It amazes me how conditions are so extreme in amount of or lack of moisture this year. My area has actually been pretty wet since last June. There is still quite a bit of 2010 corn still in the fields because it is too wet to combine. We still have another day of combining and then will try and plant some silage corn I think or maybe will plant Itallian ryegrass on that field. We did have a nice week a couple weeks back but we were scrambling between combining and planting that I only cut one hay field; of course that is still laying in the field and is junk at this point. If I had a hay head I would just chop it and blow it back on the field but I guess I will just bale it up and use it for bedding. I will cut the rest of the hay this weekend - it's going to be stemmy and over mature but it will have to do. I will only get 2 crops of hay this year I'm guessing instead of 3 but there should be enough regrowth for good fall/winter grazing depending on snow cover. We really need some sunshine and heat and down south they need rain and cooler temps. Strange year for sure. [/QUOTE]
