Hay Loss in Value From Improper Hay Handling
Hay loses 15 to 29 percent of feed value when cut, cured, and stored improperly. County agent Gilver L. Adams notes that proper handling can boost value without more land. Quality depends on maturity at cutting, leaf content, color, soundness, foreign materials, texture, aroma, and palatability. Early cutting preserves leafiness, especially in legumes, while delayed cutting lowers quality despite potential higher tonnage. Hay should wilt in swaths before raking, with cowpeas and similar crops needing longer curing.
