[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1760627, member: 25884"] We have to mow by Aug 1st at 2 places; it is in the lease. Owner wants it to "look nice". We actually made hay this year, on part of one place where we hadn't even rotated the cows into yet since we have been blessed to have had more rain this year that in several... and grass has grown like gang busters. Makes me feel even worse for other areas... but our time will come with dry weather... we have had a few summers of drought like conditions for this area. One place the owner does the bush hogging and we have to try to get him to not mow it too short in case of drought conditions because it has burnt up the grass in the past. Most others do not get bush hogged except to clean it up at the end of the season if it needs it. I prefer it so that the early spring calving cows can't hide their calves in the weedy patches. Keeps the woody stuff down, and keeps the cedars from taking over if you cut them off too. [/QUOTE]
