Dry hay harvesting was in full swing. Very little weathering damage to the hay harvested last week. Yields are generally good and a surplus is expected in Temiskaming district. Second cut regrowth is now between 30 - 45 cm and doing well. Second cut is expected to start within the next two weeks.
Pasture growth is good.
Tremendous variation in this crop this year. The early seeded and generally the best fields are in full bloom with the lower pods developing on the early maturing varieties. The hot weather of the last several days will damage some flowers. The latter seeded fields are quite variable. Many of the fields are about one month behind in crop maturity where most plants are at the 4 leaf stage to early bolting.
