We've got some hay land that has produced very good alfalfa growth after the first cut in SW Sask. I've heard 'rules of thumb' about not cutting 2nd cut after Aug 15, Sept 1, Sept 15, etc... for fear of reducing next years hay crop but I have only heard these rules from a couple different people. We have wrapped up our combining and there is a chance to cut a second cut hay on about 75% of our hayland but I am wondering if its worth it?
When you do guys think its too late to cut second cut in SW sask? Is there actually a risk to next years first cut if we were to cut and bale hay in late September?
