Title: Swath not cut low enough for hay
Post by: Fieldfare on August 10, 2015, 08:20:06 pm

Hi all- I have cut my hay but didn't cut it low enough. As I ted it I am sometimes picking up/cutting pieces of fresh grass. In small, sparsely distributed amounts I am guessing these should be OK- will have moisture sucked out and won't cause a big problem if the majority is well made and dry? Please say yes  ;)

cheers
