Wow does that stuff look good. How is it yielding and how does it compare to past years? Just curious as I want to compare it to our oat crop as this is one our better ones.

I dont know yet how the tonnage is. We should be wrapped up tomorrow and I will let you know. The triticale is under-seeded to annual rye and we will be direct seeding oats into the barley for a second crop.

SSAP. You should of seen the tons of pity we harvested off of our dryland alfalfa. A whopping 1 bale per acre. How are things in your area this year?

We wrapped up anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 of your yield ... on the acres we did cut. The cows were turned out (or will be shortly) on close to 2 quarters that weren't worth running over with equipment. A whopping 250 bales - enough for my horses :D :D That likely wasn't the smartest thing I've ever said to Don :shock: :wink: We start chopping tomorrow so we'll know in a few days how that yields. Then around 340 ac of greenfeed to wrap up. It's going to be fun trying to fit our open house/customer appr. day in there somewhere!

Final numbers on this field are a wet yield of 12.1 ton per acre. I am very pleased. We hope to get another couple of ton this fall from the oats we are direct seeding into the same field today.

It'll be 65% moisture or better so more like 4 to 5 ton dry. Under irrigation they can get corn that will do 20 to 30 ton here. We are going to chop what looks like our best dryland corn here ever I bet if the weather holds we'll push 15 ton an acre. Our hay sucks this year 165 acres yielded 188 1000#bales. I hope it gets better but it won't quit raining long enough to find out.

That is very interesting to me. I've always lived where it's arrid
and never saw anything like that. I have seen dryland alfalfa hay down
by Ekalaka that rivaled any irrigated I've ever seen.

I had no idea it was possible to get 12-15 ton of anything per acre!!
I need to get out more!!!!!!! :wink:
