Planning The Cut

twilightponyHay Board Meeting today. There was a lot of discussion on harvest dates this time. With our increased hay field acreage, we decided to harvest is earlier than last year as we're trying to push all three cuts to an earlier date so our fields will have longer to recover in the fall between the third cut and winter. We also agreed to reserve 20% of our first cut for the Crystal Empire, in case their crop or stores fall prey to the wild growth phenomena they've had this year.
So, our first cut yield will be lower and 20% of that set aside in case of need. That takes care of the surplus worries we had last Hay Board meeting, we can shelve the plan to use first cut hay as building material for now. Assuming nothing goes wrong, like weed contamination due to harvesting too early, we're still on track for increasing our second and third cut harvests to meet Yakyakistan demand.
Got to run and catch a train! I'm spending the next two nights in the Crystal Empire. Spike and Starlight Glimmer will be joining me tomorrow and Pinkie and Zecora are already there fussing over their pyrotechnic engines and details.
