Ammonium Nitrate Boosts Hay Yields and Value
Professor C J Chapman of the University notes that applying 150 to 200 pounds per acre of ammonium nitrate to timothy and other grassland meadows can lift hay yields from 0.75 to 1.5 tons per acre. The practice also enhances stem content and feeding value, and increases milk production with earlier grazing. Demonstrations in Raleigh county WV show average profit of 1682 dollars per acre over fertilizer cost, but warn against long term soil depletion without lime, phosphate, and potash, plus stable manure.
