Variable here. I am on a hill farm in central Vermont, and some of my ground is VERY moisture sensitive. Two inches of stony topsoil over solid ledge doesn't hold much water. We were short of rain in mid to late May, and it shows.
I am half way through first cut, and getting from 60% to 120% of "average". Some of the lower yields are from dry weather, some from just getting on to it earlier than any time in the past five years. Having no money for fertilizer this spring hasn't helped either.
The higher yields are from new seeding really kicking in at three years old, and the twenty tons of wood ash I put down on some other places last spring.
Second cut is doing all right in some places, others look as if they may just sit there and look stupid. I generally get a second cutting on only about half my acreage, the rest gets grazed off for second cut, and whatever third cut there may be.
