I always swath and bale my brome in late May or early June here in Kansas. If we get late rains a second crop will come, albiet a sparse growth. But still some stocks will reach a mature height. I know the second cutting is very weak on protien, so don't want to spend the time and money to bale it again. But then the next spring I have all the dead growth in my bales that especially horses won't eat anyway. I am thinking about a batwing mower and mow it down in the fall or early spring so good new growth will come up to bale when it is ready. The only real question is if the trash/old growth will cause problems when I go to swath it. I would think it would be settled down to the ground, and I don't cut that low anyway, but wondering if anyone does this?
I have a good JD 3340 swather with a double knife head to swath. Mainly wondering if the mower mulch would cause trouble with swathing? Thanks for any advice.
