We are monitoring 48 hay fields in Delaware County for NDF content to predict optimum first cutting timing. Haying time is almost here.
Highlights of Week 2
- NDF has increased slowly in the past week, but observations indicate grass has begun stem elongation and fiber will increase rapidly in the next week
- This week’s tests suggest harvest should begin next week!. (right on the long term average)
- Corn planting and hay harvest will conflict on most farms this year. Make plans park the corn planter when hay is ready and complete harvest of core acres before finishing corn planting.
