Pea Nut Hay as Stock Feed From Hickman Tenn
A department of agriculture correspondent from Hickman Tennessee describes making pea nut hay from pea vines for stock feed. The pea crop peaked at 50 000 bushels in 1873 and the hay is nutritious and highly palatable. Harvesting runs from late September to early November with a subsoil plow to loosen vines and a 8 foot stake to protect stacks. Vines are sun dried then stacked around the stake with the pea inside for winter storage. Those with barns harvest early, others use fields to pile hay then store as weather allows. The average yield per acre is about the stated figure.
