I'm very curious about this. Do you worry about grow-back next year? I've always been told that cutting between labour day and the first frost will severely dampen a hayfield's prospects for next year because those 6 or 7 weeks are when it's storing nutrients in the roots - especially for alfalfa/clover. I've always heard cutting in that window means it'll then try putting all it's effort into growing and not build sufficient root reserves for the winter. Maybe you're in a warmer part of Canada than me, however (around Peterborough, Ontario)?
I've never tried taking off September hay because I don't want to risk wrecking a field and have heard too many horror stories from folks who said they ruined their field. But I am certainly curious how it works out for you: I have several fields of good-looking alfalfa that it's very tempting to take another cutting off.
