End of May

The corn looks really good and the alfalfa is ready to cut, but the rain never seems to give me a window of opportunity to cut hay.  I know that after the dry spell we had from late summer through the winter I shouldn't complain, but haying is all about timing the weather, so I complain.  An on the subject of hay.  My orchard clover mix isn't popping like I think it should.  Didn't figure I needed any nitrogen applied to the fields since it's been in alfalfa or beans for over a decade, but the orchard grass sure looks yellow.  I guess I'll have to break down and do a soil sample to see what's going on.
