[QUOTE="The Agrarian, post: 5469428, member: 3656"] Well, yes. Had little rain from mid May to mid July when it should have been at peak growth. Second cut wasn't as heavy as usual, and third only did three proper weeks growing instead of six. Fourth coming ok, but the best of the season is well by. Our season is very near an end for growth up here, and it's a long time to April when grass starts to take off again. Another small contributory factor was that I incorrectly chose to sow 37 acres of stubble in grass in early mid May, which produced nothing until august. I may just end up with enough silage, but no home grown straw this year. It's at best a standstill year for me, when I was looking to rebuild forage backup stocks. It could have been much much worse though. . Is there any better purpose for silage that you can suggest?:scratchhead: . :) [/QUOTE]
