Too many people are going to have a short feed year. We got just enough moisture to get some decent growth. This heavy clay ground held onto the water. The guys in sand west of here are in pretty bad shape.
@@farawayfarm2520 how far from Duluth are you guys? Just got home from up there, took a family vacation. Went north just past silver bay and spent some time on the Wisconsin side also. Really like it up there so much to do!
It sounds like there is a lot of that going on. We had some bad dry stretches but got enough rain at the right times. I've been surprised how much hay actually grew here.
@@farawayfarm2520Plant a combination of red, and yellow sweet clover and then get some honey bees, then you can get 2 crops off of the same field in the dryer years and then get 1 crop ( honey ) on the wet years!
@@Larry-ed2xeI used to keep bees. Haven't had any for a few years now. I enjoyed it but too busy doing other things I guess. I still have my hives and equipment and I intend to start up again someday.
Take it if you can because it will be wet sometime or the brush takes over thanks Will
For sure. The brush never rests.
Looks good Will. Having extra is always a good thing. Not going to have that problem here this year!

@@dustinadams9136 I'm about 55 miles straight north of Duluth.
@@farawayfarm2520 shoot I bet we were really close then.
@@dustinadams9136 Depending on what roads you drove you could have been. Let me know if you're ever vacationing up this way again.
Nice volume.
Some places are looking good and others are terrible. I currently cutting a field that is great on the low end and horrible on the other.
If you don't want it, I'll buy it.....30% is what I got on the field I baled today.....

Always take what you can get.. carryover is always a good thing!!
Skipping out of work early to cut it, you must want it, deep down inside 🤔🤣😂🤫
I wish I didn't have to wait for the thunderstorm that wasn't or I could have been started earlier. 🤣😁 Carry over is definitely good.
it would be a shame to let it go to waste.
if you can bale it you can probably sell it.
Hay is light down here.
It never hurts to have extra. The canary grass has saved me on the dry years.

@@farawayfarm2520 Where are you located at? I'm in Iowa but I'm wanting to move back out west, the Black Hills of South Dakota, Wyoming, or Montana.
@@Larry-ed2xe Iron Range of Minnesota. about 60 miles straight north from the western tip of Lake Superior.
That'll make good beef cow hay!👍
They'll eat it if they have to but they're getting kind of particular. 🤣
Man that stuff is thick.
That's how it grows. That's only moderate Canary grass. The heaviest I ever cut was 9 feet tall.
