I have about 5 acres that has been in hay for many years. It is in a valley and a lot of it is hillside. My neighbor would cut and bale it every year and I gave it to him for free. This year he informed me that due to the high prices for fuel, twine etc, he could no longer justify cutting it. I have noticed when he didn't make the second cut that in the field near the woods, small trees would start growing. I believe that I should mow it for this reason. I have mowed it before with my 5' King Kutter and it works well but in the heavier stuff it will tend to windrow the grass behind the mower which isn't good. I have a sickle mower that I could probably get running. Would it be better to cut it with this and just let it lay. Any suggestions on how often I should cut it. I don't want to burn any more of that $4 gas than I have to either. Is there anything else that I could plant that maybe good for the deer or turkeys? I did have corn on it many years ago but don't really want to do that again because of the hillside erosion.
