New Method of Hay Curing At Doncaster
Gentian at Doncaster promotes a hay curing method claiming it saves time and labor while producing better hay. He advises sowing grass, laying it thin, cocking after dew, then turning once and drying in sun, with a three day cocking period before carting. He argues less turning preserves nutrients and improves cattle appetite versus common methods.
