Saronville NE | On newer fields of dryland we have been getting 7ton, but on older fields may be down to 4-5 ton, maybe less depending on how dry it is. I put 100lbs of
11-52-0 on every yr, we take 4 cuttings off, unless really dry, I try to cut in early bloom like maybe 10% blooms, but depends on weather, if has just rained and field is wet or if heavy chance of rain like in 2 days I will wait, this year has been little fuller bloom then normal to cut. I have torn up all my alfalfa except for one 31 a field, this is enuff for my cattle, and still able to sell a few bales, it just cant compete with corn price. Now we have guys coming up from TX and OK right now buying hay and it could compete with corn, but this is my quess a 1 yr thing, if wasnt for them, our hay price wouldnt be much higher then normal. | |
