Row up night before or just before chopper

[Dairyfarmer2016]

So as the title really? I’ve mown 40 acres of first cut started at 1pm finished just now 7pm average crop of real nice young grass, would you row up now and pick up tomorrow or take tomorrow just before chopper?

Leave it alone and tell the contractor to come in at 11am when the dew is off it? Only reason you would row up quickly is because you are concerned it will dry out too much?

Or if the ground is soft, can help dry out field when rowed up sooner. Definitely not going by the book and best practice here this year. Grass is good, weather is good, forecast is dodgy. But the ground in some fields is soft like a sponge. I've seen worse here in terms of surface water when cutting. But not seen ground so soft. To the op it also depends on time you have, raking not a job to be rushed imo.
