[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1507348, member: 27848"] My sentiments exactly. Question for you. I notice you are bailing wet crop. How are you going to process and put it up? My first cutting this year, the week of April 8, was peas and Jumbo Rye and it was dry when I cut it and over 4 days I tedded probably 3 times, had sunshine and moderate temps. Peas dried out good but stems on the Rye stayed green and a fingernail squeezed along the stem with an open end didn't produce any visible moisture; leaves were ready to shatter. Regardless, I baled it (rain on the way as usual) and after about 10 days it was browning. Didn't feel I deserved that. Should have been ok. Fed it out before it ruined. Second field was Perennial Rye and Fescue I cut May 9 and it cured out ok and made some nice hay. [/QUOTE]
