You don’t HAVE to mow this time of year but I’m like everyone else and just want to ride my orange buffalo from time to time…..so I’m letting it graze off the old overstory today.

I’ve got my bushhog picked up high enough that I’m mostly mowing across the top of the new plants coming in underneath the rye that’s falling over….probably mowing between 12-18”....the wheel on my bushhog isn't even touching the ground. What I’m doing is just removing the overstory and allowing full sunlight to get to the new growth at ground level now…..”releasing it”. It’s also gonna go ahead and put the hay to the ground…..just speeding up the process a little so the new crop of plants can start growing full steam ahead. The yuchi seed heads really could have used another few weeks but I plan on completely reseeding all of the clovers this year anyways.

We’re supposed the get rain for the next couple of days so all of the green should really take off in the next week or two. Let’s go finish mowing………
