Seen the guys in eastern Iowa cutting hay yesterday. Ist I'd seen this year. Looked like pretty good mix of grass and alalfa. Using a D15 and 7' new Holland conditioner. Darn I been haying since 1956. You'd think I'd learn how to spell alalfa. Anybody else north of the mason Dixon line cutting yet.

Was at the farm yesterday and today and it looks like my tenant has pretty much lost his hay crop due to way too much rain. He will probably roll what he can salvage and sell it for mulch hay.

Had no problem reading the prior nellaPA post. I was taught speed reading in 7th grade. Reading and Comprehension was a required course. This was back when schools taught ya stuff and you had to use books to learn from. I finally mowed yesterday, backyard grass was 16 to 18 inches. The Weed Eater did just fine.  Smile

I was very fortunate with my hay cutting week before last. Got a light shower one evening but not enough to hurt. Put up about 325 small squares and most of that is already sold. Glad I got it when I did. 100% chance of rain for the next 3 days from that Florida storm.

I've come to the conclusion that the weather forecasters are somewhere underground and can never see what's actually going on in the real world!!

I had to go to town today to get a couple of RV battery's for the motor home, saw a lot of hay down. I set out on the patio tonight and watched it rain close to 1/2". Was no rain in the forecast. Has that ol Shameless modified that darned ol machine???? Looked like some real heavy 1st cutting. I'm seeing some poisen hemlock showing up in the ditches here. Do any of you guys see it in hay fields and if so what do you do to get rid of it?? Thanks Guys.

you are haying the road ditches? yank them out with a tree puller. sooooo….did you buy that motorhome you was going to go look at?

Our pastures did not recover well from the cold wet cloudy spring that turned into DRY HOT summer over a week time. Have a lot of tops to the grass but little undergrowth so haying may not happen. Spoke to our renter, he said may just have to put the livestock on it and let them eat rather than bale.

thanks Gordy....yep...I was confusing it with something else....sorry! I think I've seen some of that stuff around here, but not sure. if it growes near the creek, it prolly gits sprayed. i'll keep an eye out for it now....hummmmm….maybe something to share with sum stockholders?

The Hemlock is near to blossom here now. Queen Anne's will blossom later in the year.
 It seems the hemlock is all over around here. Ditches are full of it. I tried to spray some last year around my daughters place, but it had gotten too far along by the time I got rountuit.
 If I had one of those brush grabbing tree pullers for a skid loader, I might just put it to work on some of that hemlock, it's bout 6 foot tall now and an inch around at the bottom Shocked

 Hey,
Which exactly http://jonsguide.org/best-4-cycle-weed-eater/" rel="nofollow - weed eater did you use?
 I can not choose at the moment which http://brand" rel="nofollow - brand to take it. Since you have success with these.
 I decided to take an interest in the future.
Thanks in advance

Weed Eater is a brand name.  I have two of them.  They are green in color and really good riders.  I've had em for over 20 years.  Only one of em uses any oil.
I don't know if they are still being made or not??
I believe they were made in Canada?
