Better Hay From Early Cut Fescue
Missouri forage researchers report spring grown tall fescue yields best value for summer and winter feed when cut in boot or early heading. Early cut forage averages 10 13 percent crude protein and about 53 percent digestible. August nitrogen topdressings on remaining spring growth yield 0.8 1.0 tons per acre of high quality fall growth with 12 percent crude protein and 58 percent digestibility when harvested in December. Timely harvest and nitrogen use can boost production efficiency amid high fertilizer costs and low feeder calf prices.
