Have this field of sudan that I was able to get cut before it turned into wood (from waiting for it to dry up before cutting). Then more rain. Been a week now and the next 10 day forcast is the same; rain every day. What do you do with the mess when it stops. Will have what was 5'stemmy grass, flat on the ground (stubble), plus at least 3 weeks of growback coming up thru it. Hard to rake as the growback will be green and the rake will pull up some plants and include them with the mess I cut last week. Try to bale it direct and the baler will do the same thing. Then the rolls will be just one big mess. If I go thru it with a shredder, I can't get the shredder high enough off the ground to leave the stubble stalks for good growback; then I'll for sure be putting new hay in with the daily rained on stuff that will be at least 3 weeks old. What to do, what to do. Thanks, Mark
