Harvest timing for high quality hay explained
The article advises dairy and beef farmers to cut hay at specific bloom stages to maximize protein content and yield. It notes protein drops rapidly after bloom, especially in legumes, and compares early versus late cuts. Recommendations cover alfalfa one-tenth to one-fourth bloom, clover one-half bloom, sweet clover when buds show, and grasses as soon as head.
Hay Making and Curing Timely for Quality Feed
The text explains that high quality hay requires cutting at the right maturity and careful handling to preserve leaves and color. It notes climatic limits on curing in the field with light, frequent showers making field curing hazardous and risking loss of feeding value.
Care in Handling Throwbacks for Safe Release
The article advises anglers to wet hands before handling gamefish to protect the slime coating and skin. Dry handling can damage the protective mucus, while squeezing near the gills with excessive pressure is lethal. Damp hands reduce harm and improve survival for released fish.
