Here in SE Michigan it was a good and bad year, we had plenty of
rain, but on the flip side to much rain. I have a farmer that I let
hay my back acreage, last year he got 8 round bales out of it. I
just let him have it, he raises cattle, and it's better to put it in
a cows mouth than to than to sit in the field. Problem this year was
he cut it, and then it literally rained for 5 days straight, and
then rained every other day. It's ruined, and he told me to bush hog
it down, which I would have done anyway, hopefully next year is
better.<br>

Same thing here regarding hay growth---but I opted to leave it as
I was into corn harvest. Really considering clipping mine with a
bushog, its a little taller than I wish to leave for winter.<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">While third cuttings of hay are not uncommon around here, they happen in September. Having enough warmth and dryness to actually cut in October is unheard of. I guess climate change is good for something. It’s normally way too cool and the ground moisture is too high to cut in October.
We had a really bad dry spell in August and September. I just knew I wasn’t going to get a third cutting. Things just weren’t growing. Then we got a 2 inch rain at the very beginning of October and then above average temps. And the grass jumped. So I got a light, but worth the effort, cutting this past week.
The 3600 did good. Still miss the 861 tho
