Plan To Cut Alfalfa For Best Hay Yield
County Agent Robert Davie and state stations advise cutting alfalfa at about one tenth bloom for best balance of yield and quality. Early cuts weaken future stands, while late cuts reduce hay quality though boosting total nutrients per acre. Best practice: lie in swath 4 to 5 hours, wilt to about 10 percent water loss, then rake. avoid 3 to 5 hour window that yields leaf loss and tougher hay.
