That has always been normal for me. With the warmer weather, the little bit of grain that I feed cuts hay consumption a lot.

I think i'ts great. Eventually they will get to the point that enough food can't be raised, and prices will rise. American agriculture is too productive is the reason farmers are broke.

I don't know about the nutritional value, but I can't get my cattle to eat it. I have some other grass they are slow to eat, but they avoid canary grass like the plague.

That's the way it is. Summer showers are sporadic, and it may rain on the grid, then you get nothing.

I do it every year, my last cutting of the year gets grazed.

Around here Milkweed is very hard to kill. Takes at least 2 applications of 24D Ester. Grazon does better for me.

The problem with red clover in hay fields, is red clover does not dry well. If conditions are not perfect, it extends drying time 2 days. Makes good feed if you get it before the rain.

That hay was made way past it's prime. Good alfalfa, when made at the right time will be finely stemmed and have lots of leaves. Cows will eat it like candy.

That's how I do it. 1 1/2 bushels of oats and orchard grass. Seed as early in the spring as I can.

It may take awhile for cattle to start eating turnips the first time. After they try them, they love them.

750 1560 1590 are the John Deere drills. 5400 is the only International drill I know about.

It is a good practice to clean it. I mean to do it each year, but it gets neglected sometimes. The bale chamber in mine got rusty and pitted from failure to clean it. Then when you want to hurry and bale, you have problems.

I have thickened alfalfa with alfalfa, but it was only a year old. Evidently the toxicity takes some time to develop. Thought I was wasting my money, but it worked.

I have not owned one myself. If my memory is good, people on another forum thought they were the best fence charger made. Now, that was several years ago.

My cows will not touch switchgrass. It makes a lot of forage, but my cows would starve before they would eat it.

My cows simply will not eat switch grass, young tender stuff, I thought. They stand and bawl until I move them.

Here, they soil test, apply hydrated lime, and spread free. It grows nice crops,real nice. I don't use it because I sell freezer beef. If my customers found out about it, I would be in trouble

That is the way I do it. One dry, and one wet.

I bale my nurse crops, but i wrap mine for oatlage. The cows sure love it. Any of your options should work fine.

I like the tube type, they use less wrap, and wrap faster. If you feed a couple of bales a day, the open end will not spoil in PA winters. The tubes need a better storage area. Is Sonny or Randy a relative?
