Hay quality and timing boost profits for Arkansas farmers
County agent Oliver L Adams explains that cutting hay at peak digestible protein and leafiness raises value by 10 to 15 percent. Better color indicates higher vitamin A and nutrients, with later cutting reducing protein per acre. Recommendations cover alfalfa, lespedera, soybeans, cowpeas, and Sudan grass, plus curing steps and windrow storage to minimize nutrient loss. Livestock shows push colt development and early grain feeding, including recommended starter mixes, while AAA cotton marketing quotas tighten enforcement with penalties in Texas and nearby states.
