Hey,
didn't want to hijack the other post on hay.
Farmer across the street has alfalfa on a couple of fields >10 acres. He cuts and gathers with a forage wagon (?) and feeds it fresh a load at a time. I never paid a lot of attention, but think he cuts it 3 or 4 times.
Question is: I am probably gettingabout an acre of ground that always had barley on it. Don't want to wait to seed it as a pasture and don't really need it as a pasture. Only want to have about 100 bales of alfalfa hay on hand through the year for emergencies and to keep one mare up that tends to slim down in winter.
Would it be fair to the neighbor to ask him to plant/maintain it with alfalfa, mow it once and let me make hay from 1 cut per year(raking/baling on my dime) and take whatever else it yields for himself?
If so, which cut should I look at getting (for horses) if it matters? 2nd would be convenient for hay because of the nise weather.
