Best Time to Cut Grasses for Hay Crop

The U S Department of Agriculture advises cutting most grasses when heads are well formed. Millets and Johnsongrass should be cut when heads appear. winter grains wait until milk stage. Legumes like cowpeas and soybeans wait for pod maturity. alfalfa and clovers can be cut in bloom. Hay quality rises with faster production and sun exposure, while excessive sun bleaches hay and reduces palatability.

Feeding grain cut losses. recommended rations include ground corn and oats with linseed meal or cottonseed meal, adjusted as pasture quality changes.

Room for Expansion in Dairying Says A Boss

Andrew Bossa, vice director of the Minnesota experiment station, argues dairying can expand. He sees no risk of overdoing the dairy industry and expects cow numbers and production to rise with population and demand. Lower beef prices may shift general cattle raisers back to beef, reducing milk output slightly to favor dairymen.
