Mowing as I write

Did you crash?

Did you crash?

No but did get told to stop for dinner

Mower coming tomorrow, with a view to making some rocket fuel silage (8-10" tall, light crop and loads of clover). Forecast is now 30 degrees by Saturday, so it might make itself into hay yet.

If hays not green when it comes out of the shed it's more or less worthless
Better off push it in the corner and burn it

But it's leaf, not stem, leaf dries easy, stem doesn't

I agree leaf starts to dry quicker, but the last bit of moisture out of leafy grass is slow to come out.

Combine that with how dense and solid leafy grass packs in a bale and doesn't breath, and it can make it tricky.

In your part maybe, here pretty much any hay was making £30 for a 4x4 since early in the year.

It would be an expensive fire.

Crack on with it for cattle and sheep. Horses? For me it's too early for 90% of horses.

There's a market for all sorts of hay , you just need to adapt.

Supplying the bottom feeders is a heartbreaking job, however.

You would say that
It's the mix you sold me last spring, so 12 months old. We grazed it last autumn and are now cutting. I'd have liked to have cut it last week for some rocket fuel haylage but, after months and months of dry, it rained! Wasn't complaining too much though
