Forage from legume tops supports winter use and risks
Iowa farmers with legume fields can harvest top growth from mid-September to late October without harming stands. Remove excess growth to prevent mice nests and disease risk, while preserving enough to protect soil and snow. Stored top growth has limited quality but offers hay value and can extend winter forage.
