Then a couple weeks of rain and a couple days ago I baled second cut bluegrass double windrows in low gear with a slow low-gear tractor. Put out about 8 bales a minute. [Reply]   [No Email]

Plenty of rain in May and June, made for a good (but late) first cutting, when the weather turned on the 4th of July. And it hasn't rained since! (Not completely true- couple of sprinkles, maybe .03 inches each, but only enough to settle the dust.) Had to dig a hole with the backhoe to bury the old dog last night, pretty dry down there.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Seeded last year. Only cut once this year,this'll be the second cutting. Aparently,from what I read,most on here would have wasted fuel cutting it again a month ago. That stuff looked just like the third does where I did cut the better seedings a month ago. Big green leaves,nearing knee high. Just a very few blossoms starting to come out. I wish I had a some pictures of it to show the folks who think the college boys are always right. I cut 23 acres of older seeding yesterday. Second cutting. The grass has really come on it that,no doubt tripled the yield. I've got another 13 to knock down today.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I seemed to get a inch less then my neighbors. But still the first decent rain in about three month. Received 2-3/4. Could use more this weekend.   [Reply]  [No Email]
