How many cuttings do you get in an average year, krindlebug?

He usually only takes one, unless he thinks he will be short of
hay that year, or if the second cut is looking particularly
nice.
In this part of the world getting second cut is not always
possible because we have such a short growing season. This year
there looks like there will be second cut hay, but there
probably won't be time to harvest it. If time permits, bro is
talking about making a few hundred small square bales. They are
popular among some of the horsey set.
He's going to be combining field peas in 2 or 3 weeks. Once the
grain harvest starts, it's pretty much the main focus on the
farm until it's complete or (God forbid) it snows.

Round here, it's usually two, three in a good year. This will be
a two-cutting year because of the late frost.
Peas have been done for weeks. Soybeans will be harvested soon,
and there are a LOT of beans this year.
Corn is coming on nicely. Some sweet corn stands are already
selling early harvest. Field corn, as you know, takes a bit
longer.
Dinklefarm has livestock?

Yeah, bro has around 60 head of cattle and 2 dogs.
We have too short of a season around here for corn, other than
to grow it for corn grazing.
Basically, you grow the corn and don't harvest it. Then in the
winter, you turn the cattle into the field to do their thing.
It works okay, but you end up losing some of it to the deer and
other wild critters.

I don't suppose the dogs consume too much hay ;)
We have whitetails thick as wood ticks here, they take a fair
amount of the corn. Field perimeters are a favored place to
hunt. Raccoons are surprisingly prolific corn thieves too.
