Okay, Here's the story and I've never done this before, so please gimme me your opinion as what I'm to do. I've got 110 acres of alfalfa that has been just growing like a wild man the past few days since we've gotten all this rain and nice humid temps of late. It is about "half" done, I'd say. Not quite knee high. It's looking the best it has looked all year and I'd really like to grab this crop if at all possible. However, there is a massive cold front 'sposed to come thru on Sunday night and I think the alfalfa is gonna get zapped, big time. They're talking lows around 25; cold and rainy all next week. November type weather for a week. I had pretty much mentally written the hay off, but my friend John says just to wait until the front passes and then go out there and knock it down anyway even tho if it should freeze. Just take in after the weather warms up again. Have you ever harvested frozen alfalfa? Turns kinda black and slimy, doesn't it? I've never had to cross this bridge before, Allan
