Alabama extension urges baling drought corn as hay
Auburn Alabama The Alabama Cooperative Extension Service advises farmers in drought zones to cut and bale dried up corn for hay. Extension director Dr. J Michael Sprott notes thousands of grain corn acres will yield nothing but stunted plants can become decent hay with proper baling and shelter to protect from moisture. Extension offices act as feed centers helping cattlemen locate hay and supplies as grazing drops.
