We've cut three fields, of which we'd hoped to make hay in two, but have had to wrap them all for silage
We've still got several fields to go and remain hopeful of getting at least
some as hay. We have also made hay in September before, and actually it's been good stuff for sheep.
In 2006, BH made 6000 little bales of hay, and only a little silage. The following year he got one early field of mini-hestons of hay - early June - and the rest of the year it was all silage, and most of that after mid-August. We even made silage in November one year!
He claims that summers were better and more predictable when he was younger, that you always got the hay finished by the end of July, never needed to make silage, were glad of a wet day to have a rest.
