Sudan? Haygrazer? I could not get that dry unless we had a drought.

That looks like it'd make 10 or 12 bales to the acre.

Haygrazer never makes what it looks like it will. The field pic from the tractor seat made a little better than three 5x51/2.
That's alot around here.
Middle pic is still on the ground.
We'll see.

I would love to try some but our summer does not give us enough time . It's a full time job just to get brown top dry enough. I do see folk make hay ledge with it.

I've tried to find someone locally that could bale millet for me. No takers. I think you'd have to have a mower conditioner and all the stars line up. Or wrap it.

Glad you got it timed right. Around here there's only a handful of people that have been able to jump on it and get anything baled before it rained again. I'm finally starting to see some fields getting laid down this week. I'm also seeing a few stuck tractors.

There's some real good milo out around Stamford, north of Abilene, like I've not seen out there before.
A real nice stand this year.

I'm finally starting to see some fields getting laid down this week. I'm also seeing a few stuck tractors. We didnt get near as much as you did. But dad buried a tractor on the side of a sand hill. He was laying some down for a neighbor. Water started pooling around the tires. Pure sand on that place. They said it was the first anyone got stuck there that they know of. Guess a spring was trying to start there. |

I'd sure like to see you rotary mow some of that just to see how much difference that makes in dry down time.
