I have 9 acres total in coastal. Half is quite infested with this 'water grass' and the other half is mostly descent...one side irrigates from pipes under ground and the other from a ditch, so I think the seeds come in easier through the pipe. Last year was not a good year. 1st cutting I cut with little to no chance of rain and we got over 2 inches before it was baled...so, all round bales for cow hay. 2nd and 3rd were better. Square baled the good half and made a little over 600 squares at app. 65lbs. The other half, all round bales. I also bought and resold about 800 bales from my neighbor. This year should be better...the quality and yield has been improving each year with better management. Will also be custom cutting 15 acres right next to my field and another 7 acres across the road...so, that should help the bottom line as well. I am too picky about my hay and if it is not perfect, I discount it...maybe too much. I never have a problem selling out...and am normally one of the first around here to sell out. This will be my third year doing it myself...and with more experience I will get better at the game.

Thanks for the info...will post how things go.
