Subject: Re: Killing frost on Alfalfa.



The weather is clear for the week. I've got 20 acres of double crop beans to do and 30 or 40 acres to get chiseled this week. Then possibly deep rip another couple hundred acres.

What I don't want to do is cut this alfalfa, then get two weeks of warm weather and have it try to regrow and waste the carbohydrates it's stored for the winter. The weather just won't turn cold and stay there. It's supposed to be upper 60's and 40's at night again for the whole week. Haven't even looked at a forecast beyond that becuase, as you say, it isn't reliable at all. If it was gonna be 40's and 30's at night here on out, no problem. Oh, and we won't even try to put this hay up dry. It will be cut and baled the next day and wrapped. No way am I taking a chance on screwing up 200 RFV alfalfa at what it's worth this year.
