Hello Everyone,
My neighbor told me that I could use 40 acres of bottom land that he owns for free. It has only been bushhogged for the last two years. He would like for it to be broken up disked etc. I was thinking about planting some wheat this fall, mowing it for hay in the spring, and then following with some bean/millet hay. Do any of you feed wheat hay? If I did this what would you recommend as a seeding rate for the wheat. What would the approximate maturity date be on the wheat for hay cutting. I live in western, KY. Sorry so many questions, I'm just not real knowledgable about wheat. Thanks alot!
