Heycods; Hay?

[Kenneth Brown]

Anybody cutting any yet? I've seen just a few in my area with their first cutting. No one seems to be cutting and I can't figure out why.

Not yet. my sudan is about a foot tall, be 45 days or so. Some around here getting ready to cut costal, but most of the costal paches have severe drouth damage, lots of bare spots.

One of the local power companies (we have three here, and another on the way) cuts hay on their reclaimed land. I can "supposedly" get it for $35 a bale delivered and they unload in the field for you. You have to buy the entire load, about 35 bales, and I only use about 10-15 a winter. I think I'm gonna go ahead and get a load if I can. If nothing else I'll feed it next year or sell it if there is a market.

I went and looked at mine today , half a stand, Ill probably graze out and let the dove hunters have the sunflowers, Ill make enough off the hunting to buy hay. It really sux no rain for a year and just enough when I planted to crust the ground and no stand of haygrazer, cant win for loosing. And I have $2500 in fertilizer fuel and seed. I would have been better off going to Vegas and blowing it. Oh well the Cows will enjoy it.
