Hay Major Crop Focus From The Farm Forum
Melvin A. Cameron outlines hay as a key regional crop for dairy and livestock feeding and as a major cash crop for irrigation farms. He stresses proper variety selection, soil fertility, cutting stage at 10 percent bloom for alfalfa, between heading and bloom for grasses, and careful curing and stacking to preserve nutrients and leafiness. He warns against moisture losses, sun bleaching, and rain leaching, recommending polythene coverings and sheds to protect stored hay.
