Soy Beans as an Emergency Crop for Hay

A New Jersey State College of Agriculture crop specialist says soy beans beat other options as an emergency hay crop for dairymen short of good hay. They can be grown alone or with sudan grass or sorghum, should be inoculated, and perform well on unlimed land. They rival alfalfa in feeding value and help spare ground for follow on crops, though curing in the field is key.

Farmers adapt by liming soils to grow legumes like alfalfa and sweet clover, as acidic conditions hinder growth. Copper dust treatment helps prevent mildews in crops such as sorghum, while dairy notes warn of milking trends showing higher milk flow with reduced butterfat. The article casts boys as tomorrow’s farmers and stresses observation of cream test trends.
