In my immediate vicinity, it looks respectable, could be taller like in other years, but there is a nice crop of orchard grass and other grasses, just right for a nice crop of green hay, and with a window of good weather to get it as well, had I the equipment, it would have been cut yesterday, a nice first cutting as is, with the heads out maybe a week or so, not so thick you could not dry it down, our horses further north would enjoy this stuff. It's always been my preference to take cuttings like this, not as thick or tall, dries faster, less bleaching, but let it go with these kinds of grasses, it loses quality rapidly.
