Subject: I agree on less hay... but



KY		What's the answer? You're not too far from me and grass and soil relatively similar I'm sure. There just was no grass last year with the drought. I will get by this winter but only because the temps stayed up until last week. I only had to feed a few rolls of hay in august and then it finally rained and the grass came back somewhat. I would like to cut my hay use by a fourth (without reducing cattle) and put a little old crop ground that I had to make hay out of a few years back back into crop production. I have lost 100 acres of row crop lease to a sale that was beyond my comfort zone (had to buy 500 acres of good-for-nearly-nothing to get the 100 of creek bottom.) and would like to recover 25 or 30 of that back to ground I use to row crop. Feeding them more ground feed is not an answer for me, it just won't pay. Right now feeding a dozen calves 1/3 ration of corn, soyhulls and corn gluten is running around $100 a week with my corn.
