You said you don t need the hay so that leaves a few options
Hay removes more potash from the ground than any other crop, you can run a rotary cutter over it chopping up the hay for it to rot and replenish some of the nutrients in the ground
I wouldn t cut it with a hay mower if I was planning on a second cutting, you would end up with a lot of the dead stuff in your next cutting
