Just in case everyone is busy playing catch up and cant get round to my fields, what would you reccomend, cut and then drag the chains through it to collect it up and pile in a corner to rot down?
I think your suggesting cutting it and then harrowing? No I wouldn't do that!
Firstly I'd put a card in local feed merchants or local group on facebook and offer the grass free to whoever can cut, bale and take away within the next week. Failing that I would ask my neighbours if they would like to graze it for a few weeks, ideally with cattle, maybe with horses, or as a last resort sheep (they'll trample most of it).
If you cut it and leave it (or harrow), it will kill a lot of the grass underneath it and the field will become full of 'thatch' - dead grass that suffocates the grass underneath. If you tried to cut it later in the year it would be full of dead grass that would smell pretty bad and you'd have a pretty inedible crop of haylage.
