[QUOTE="Ouachita, post: 1848664, member: 16802"] Another consideration, especially this time of year, is how fast the forage grows. When it grows really fast with all the rain and fresh nutrient, it may not uptake the trace minerals as efficiently. People look at me like I have two heads when I mow my hay meadow 6-8 weeks before hay cutting time. Still produces as much or more than if I don't, but adds that nutrient back to the soil for an impressive growth. Is it worth the time, fuel, and wear on the the tractor (and myself)? I cannot yet give an answer that I'm confident with, but I can say that the grasslands are improving at a much faster rate, meaning my goals will be achieved sooner. Our greatest resource is time. If I have to spend more time now, to make tomorrow easier on my older self, that seems a bargain. [/QUOTE]
