A Country Gentleman summary cites a Edinburgh Journal of Agriculture report stating hay should be cut when grasses are in blossom to maximize sugar and starch content for cattle. It notes farmers like C N Bement, Sanford Howard, W H Lotham, and J Pratt advocate early cutting to preserve nutriment and root vigor, with practical dairy success.
