I've got a bit of a dilemma. Between the late frost, warm and dry April, and weevils, the alfalfa component of my grass/alfalfa hay fields is pretty poor. The pubescent wheatgrass isn't great either, but at least it is green. I'm trying to decide whether to cut and bale it, and if so, when. Or should I take in some cows or yearlings and graze it? I have a good carryover hay supply, and will probably be able to get enough put up without this field. I cash rent it, so I have some fixed cost tied up in it. I rent my equipment from my dad on an per hour/bale/acre basis (depending on the machinery) so those costs are variable.
