Sudangrass first cut

This morning when I went for a walk, I noticed an outside swath of Sudangrass at Jaime’s had been cut.

It was too damp early in the morning to cut, but by early afternoon, the harvester was at work. It sure moved quickly through the field. The operator was an independent contractor.

Incredible to me that all that vertical growth could be reduced to the wide cut rows. The harvester slices the leaves but crushes the stems to enable more even drying which will take 5-10 days.
