Bad Weathered Hay Fails as Dairy Feed at Beltsville Farm
At the federal experimental farm in Beltsville Maryland cows were kept on grain and hay without pasture for seven years. Cows fed green No 1 alfalfa hay and even Timothy in one case showed no decline in health or productivity. Poor quality No 8 Timothy reduced milk yield and calves died. Green hay provides high vitamin A, while badly weathered hay loses it, making it unsatisfactory for dairy cows.

Lime Content and Forage Suitability by Lime Levels
Lime content of soil determines which forages grow best says Ohio State agronomy. Alfalfa requires natural lime or liberal liming. red clover tolerates half to two thirds the lime applied for alfalfa. Alsike and Timothy struggle on very acidic soils without manure. bluegrass pastures need adequate lime and fertilizer for red clover compatible soils.
