We had a mild winter and a nice wet spring. The combination caused fields that were dried crust last summer to come alive and winter rye was everywhere. Some of the fields had been barren for years and all of a sudden they were abounding in grass. "Hayin" folks here jumped on the bandwagon and baled all that they could and got a good crop.
I planted late as I needed 65F soil temp and nights were so cool that I had to wait till late April to plant...usually get it in by mid March. I got my 1st cutting off a few days ago and immediately thereafter we got the 100 degree days and bright sun shine with the same out for at least the next 10 days.
I planted drought resistant grasses and being in black clay, the combination is coming right along. I think I will get another cutting. But after that probably kiss her goodbye......unless we get a hurricane up the central Gulf of Mexico. They are bad for the low land and coastal folks, but up here they are an early fall life saver.
Soo, if there is any truth to the forecasters and their El ....o, who can be wrong and usually are 50% of the time and still keep their jobs, if we can get the moisture in the winter, we can survive here in N. Texas. With last summer's drought, it was looking pretty bleak last fall.
Wish you guys luck........and then there are the floods in MN and N. FL. Amazing................
