[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1231601, member: 4362"] Regolith, we do it a little different and try to cut all every 28 days (on grass) but if the weather is not looking good we will cut the begin making baleage rather than trying to dry it and make hay. The reason this is done is to keep the cuttings on schedule and prevent it from getting rank and losing its feed quality. Can't always do it this way but this is the gist of what we strive for. Still end up growing some rank hay at times but wrapping helps us reduce the amount of filler hay we grow. On millet, I will usually make baleage out of it because its so hard to dry and it doesn't store well in the open so wrapping makes sense. Cows love it but like I mentioned I hate feeding and handling it. [/QUOTE]
