Couple of years ago we had a drought Spring and everyone waited and waited but finally said the heck with it and cut/baled tan hay. Everyone except a Mennonite family who waited a couple more weeks. Had one rain that was just enough to green up the grass and they had green bales sitting in the field while everyone else had tan bales.

This year’s the opposite and no one’s been able to cut. More rain this week so it ain’t happening yet. Definitely not getting three cuttings in this year.

It looks nice when they cut, like driving by 1000’s of acres of lawn. Of course if you walked it, you’d find it’s still 6” tall but driving by looks like lawn.

The rain coming later today will help with the next cutting. For starting out in drought conditions - we had NO SNOW all winter - looks like things are evening out, now.

Fingers crossed for rain, but no tornadoes, today. Current Midwest radar looks awful busy! :(
