Old if it doesn"t turn hot and dry again, which is not that likely you should get a desent cutting.

hi old, we're about eighty miles west of St. Louis and everywhere we looked was brown as is your area i'm guessing. I think another cutting is not out of question as long we can get it dry. The foxtails and crabgrass are coming on strong now and make good feed if not cut too late. The fescue is slow but the orchard seems to be springing back good. The alfalfa is doing really well, maybe two cuttings yet (hopeful). We've got a little bermuda for a test plot it stayed green through all those hot days it's really taking off now. That stuff is unbelievable but so very expensive too plant (300/acre just for sprigs). We've come across a seeded variety am going to try some next spring let you know more when it's up and going, it's alot cheaper to plant. If fertilizer wasn't so high I'd recommend the minimum amount of nitrate a spreader will spread, we've done that in the past years had some real nice late cuttings. The rain is so nice, isn't it? Well I've gone on enough good luck!!

I'm sort of lucky I don't have to buy fertilizer I run 4 horses on about 25-30 acres so they do pretty good at putting it back. LOL I also do hay on the same area, I only have one field that looks very good right now and hope that the other one will make some hay before it freezes. I live in a bottom so my fields didn't get real dry but they where not good either. Guess its a wait and see thing.

If I got 3" here in central KY now I'd be cutting hay until the snow was on it.

Well here in Missouri where I am it has been very dry and most of the fields have gotten so bad that they are brown not green any more. I jsut hope this rian will bring back the green enough to make some more hay. The first cutting I got about half of what I get in a normal year.
