Amazed

I took over a hay field last year that everyone had been baling for the last ten years and no one had put anything on the field. Last May I baled for the first time the 22 acres and got 350 small square bales and 5 round bales. I sprayed it last Labor Day with weed master and did the fall cut in October and got 580 small square bales. I had 2 ton per acre of lime applied in October and fertilized it with 300 lb per acre of 20-10-10 in March. I sprayed it again in April with weed master and cut and baled it this past week. I got 918 small square bales and 57 4x5 round bales. I never would have imagined that this field would have turned around the way it has. We had a great winter and spring for hay with not too cold winter and above average rainfall. My own field had the best yield it has ever had but the field down the road has amazed me.
