[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 224617, member: 968"] We don't even THINK about putting up dry hay for first cutting anymore. All first cut is BALEAGE. Our area is mostly dairy, and they all put up haylage. Very few try to put it up dry. Even if it doesn't actually rain, so much dew & moisture, and rarely 2 solid dry days in a row - let alone 4 which is what we need. Come 2nd cutting, we at least THINK about putting up 2nd cutting. Our hay is no where near ready, but some of the "big boys" are just pulling out the equipment for haylage - waiting for it to quit raining. 3 weeks ago, we didn't think we would have anything to graze - so cold & dry - not it's cold & wet - yuk! - but the grass has grown a bunch. Had frost warnings last night, but we didn't get one. Had a light one few days ago. Welcome to upstate NEW YORK. [/QUOTE]
