Taking forage down for windrow grazing. Still no rain, so good curing weather at least. Pearl millet was a lifesaver - filled all the gaps where the sorgxsudan couldn't hack the drought. New favorite forage.
@NEmyrich#cowchow is looking good. Doing this on soil moisture and less than 2" of rain. (Dry spots don't look like this.) Loving those forage collards today.
@ObrechtTyrel First year for this variety, but I won't do any testing until all the hay is done. Typically our oats will be 10-12% CP and 55% TDN - we were about 10 days later than I would have liked in these due to weather, so they were in milk.
Goliath oats taking names this year. Drilled late March, about one good rain in April and another in May. Dusty dry by June. Then 7 inches of rain June 17-21. Stood through several thunderstorms. Cut June 23 and managed to miss enough rain to roll it up yesterday. #cowchow
The oats were NT drilled into heavy residue from grazing pearl millet in 2023. Wasn't sure how it would go but the stand was excellent and I think the residue helped the oats through the dry conditions.
@Casein_Micelles I've stayed because I felt like there was still a little value but honestly questioning that now. Tough because it seems like everyone has scattered in different directions so how do you find it again?
