>>> We are very low on hay in Western North Carolina, several late frosts
have set us back quite a bit, no one I know has cut hay yet.  Usually, my
horses are fully on pasture by now, but I'm still scrounging for more hay.

Hay cutting doesn't normally start until the first-middle of May in my part
(slightly west of center) of NC.  It's too cool at night before that, and
too much dew forms, making it almost a sure thing that the hay will mold if
cut earlier.   Sometimes we don't cut our fescue until early June.  The
Bermuda grass that's grown just east of here, all the way to the coast, is a
summer grass.  They don't cut it before late June, and they get cuttings all
summer, into the very early fall.
