Hi Guys,

Boy! Sure glad I got it stuffed in the ground!

Been raining a nice soft drizzle here all day long. Well over an inch so far.

When you get done with that water spigot, turn it back south. Saw a tree grab hold of and squeeze a dog the other day.

This might be a dumb question, but, well I gotta ask, can winter wheat be planted for hay? Always wondered...

Yeah, it don't make bad hay. And the best part it comes off early enough to plant another crop.

I can't see it making very good dry hay, it may be ok in the silo. Rye, barley, wheat, etc. that have beards, need to be harvested at just the right time so the beard isn't too hard.. or sumthing like that... so they don't get lodged in the cow's gums and cause sores and other problems in the cows mouth.

Can't say exactly when that is, my dad watches it and tells me when we need to cut it, so I get the tractor and haybine ready and get to it.

One other note, they should be mixed with other feed like corn silage if possible. last year we did rye and while it had a great stand and we put it up with lots of dried mollasis in the silo, the girls just didn't like it much and the milk dropped off a cliff.

This year we did peas & tritcal, plus some oats because we ran out of the other seed. They liked it a lot better and the milk didn't drop off quite as bad, but nothing makes them milk like corn though.

thanks for the info, Might not be such a good idea with the kentucky weather that we have here....also the thought of pulling beards out of a horses mouth doesn't sound like fun...

If you get it early enough the beards aren't much of a problem, but there is a very short window to get it off. Atleast that's the way it is with the rye we took off last year, and the tritical this year.

Most be nice, been so dry here that I don't think I'll be lucky enough to get any wheat in the fall. I don't plant it for any thing but the wild life but, I figure they feed me so I feed them.

Hi Stan,

This is winter wheat, which needs to go thru the winter dormantcy as part of it's growing cylcle. If there was no freezin' cycle, it wouldn't even produce. :>)

It mainly works on it's root system in the fall, goes dormant, then when the ground temp hits around 40 degrees next spring, it greens back up and goes to making seed.
