Alta 5 I agree I dont see a poor crop anywhere but the proof will be when it is in the bin,flat as the bly is it will probably leave a lot in the field unless mabey you have a striper header , The hay ended up growing real well concidering how it started but over 50% is black and lots to cut yet so you know even if it goes up green how good will it be.
Sask3 I realy dont follow you complaining about imputs all the time as it is you ,the BTOs that buy all that shit ,most of us guys gust trying to make a living dont realy care as we dont do the max everything game, grow more sell for less ???

The tillering on the Penhold was poor to start with, but with the lack of moisture, I won't blame the variety.

Cutting hay today, and it is almost a good crop finally, improved a lot since a month ago when it should have been cut. With our clay we can grow an incredible hay crop on snow melt alone, but when the snow melts this early and nothing follows, the laws of physics were against the hay from the start.
