What kind of grass?

Allan in NE · Jun 11, 2013

I think I'm gonna start putting all my hay into broam.

That is one tough grass and doesn't winter/drought kill. :>)

Erik it looks like an excellent first cutting!

Erik Ks farmer · Jun 11, 2013

It is brome, it is very heavy, hoping I can get it dried down now. The snows we had late winter and early spring brought did wonders for it.

That is some nice looking hay.

Looks like all "Tin" wants to do is play.

Thanks for sharing your photos with us.

With these spring rains the brome has just exploded. It is 40 inches tall here and all headed out. I've two tractors hooked to mowers and waiting for a window to knock it down, Drive around the county and you see brome popping up in a lot of the older alfalfa stands.

Extensions and Ag colleges say it is very important not to cut it any shorter than 4 inches.

Does your conditioner squish the seed heads?

Nice looking hay. Another rnice thing about brome is that it stays green, even when it gets mature. Nice looking heeler too - they're smart dogs

I've never seen brome cut 4" tall, I don't think that is even possible with a traditional sickle mower.

DaninKansas · Jun 11, 2013

I mowed some brome yesterday that was knee high from my sitting position on the Farmall. Little bit of overlapping fertilizer spreading (operator error on my part) and the perfect amount of rain makes it do wonders.

GordoSD · Jun 11, 2013

You only get one cutting of Brome. It is cool season grass and it will almost go dormant after it heads out.

I envy you! See my pic above, we can't even get a push
mower on The hayfields right now from all the rain! Have no
idea when it will dry out because the Clay just holds the water!
