now. Been rained on 3 times now. The new stuff
(alfalfa and alfalfa/Timothy) is growing nicely up
through it. I'm just worried about when I bale the
next cutting, some of this old crap will get raked
into the window and making that hay crappy. Will

I reckon you haven’t tedded the hay then. When we have hay down we keep tedding it every day it is not raining. If it is not rained on we can bale it after 5 days. Rain will delay baling and the quality and number of bales will be reduced but the hay will eventually get dry when the weather improves and it will not get overgrown. I have had hay I couldn’t get baled for several weeks and there wasn’t much left to bale at last. It was all grey and dusty but the cows ate it and didn’t complain.
