Its improverd "Red Top cane" usually can wait till the end of june before I cut,but it started booting early this year,I guess on the account of all the timely rains we had..............good luck
PS this stuff makes alot of tonnage,and has got me through many dry years.

I ran over one that size with a disk mower last year. It wasn't as lucky.

I finished the first cut on Sunday. Wound up with a 5 and 4 record - 5 that I managed to run/carry off and 4 thru the discbine. First year I've ever had a positive average.

He is so tiny, he looks like a puppy. It is amazing how Mother Nature puts dappled sunlight on their coat.
How old do you think he is?

That is impressive. Wonder if that cane will grow around here? I sure could use something like that right now.

I dont know why it would'nt your growin season is plenty long enough,I bet if you checked around,you would find out several folks been planting cane grasses a long time.............good luck
 
Why are those bales so narrow? I saw the same size up in South Carolina a few weeks ago and was wondering if this is the new standard size or if they are that size so two will fit side by side on a flat bed trailer. :?:

I use a 4' wide bale because they fit on a gooseneck two wide and doesn't raise brows from the police. A 5' wide would be more convenient for feeding and stacking but we haul a lot of hay a good ways on the public roads. I've hauled 5's two wide, you can't see around them at all even with good mirrors and it attracts attention. The less attention I get, the happier I am. Plus I can double stack the top rows with the 4' wides, wouldn't want to try that with the 5's.

I got a load of 4x6s one time. Those are the most awkward sized bales. Seems like they're not wide enough for their hieght, but 5x6 work great.
