It's time to buy while the price is good. Don't wait until winter when you have to have it and the price is high. This winter maybe a bad one. I am going to get more hay so I can make sure to have plenty.

Right now a lot of hay is coming off the fields. There is an abundance of inexpensive 2nd and 3rd cut native grass hay and bermuda. Also, 2nd cut sudan crosses are abundant. Alfalfa has done good this year so far, and more cuts should happen with another reinforcing rain.

Check your hay close and be picky. Watch out for excess johnson grass, broom weed, cow catchers, milk weed, and other weeds in native grass hay.
