Thought of this thread today!
Dad was giving me a hand with a project and I was riding with him back to his place for lunch...side benefit to having him help is Mom always feeds me lunch!....anyhow....fella that rents his place and about several adjoining places had a tractor there with a hay mowing blade on it. Dad said he thought the guy was going to mow all the beans for hay. I mentioned what I'd read here. The guy (family of farmers actually) uses most of Dad's place for cattle with only part of it in beans...but the adjoining lots, a couple hundred acres, are in beans.
I know dick about bean hay other than I helped a guy pick up bales after it was already in square bales once when I was a kid and it was some scratchy and heavy chit! ...It will be a lot of hay if that's what this guy does....
Question...will cut beans cut grow back for a second cutting or they done for? ...like I said I know dick about bean hay.
