Easter day radio and hay curing notes show timing and losses
The piece lists radio program schedules from CBS NBC and others with a note on Easter day redirection. It then discusses hay making, focusing on leaf shatter in alfalfa, moisture thresholds above 55 percent prevent damage, and the impact of wind row timing on protein content and yield.
Alfalfa Hay Raking Tips and Crown Care
Guidelines advise raking alfalfa hay when moisture is between 35 and 65 percent to minimize leaf shatter, maximize carotene retention, and speed curing. Raking when damp or tough due to humidity can also help leaf preservation. The notes warn about top heavy crowns and suggest bracing weakened crotches and cabling large limbs to prevent splitting during storms.
Time to prune bleeder trees and others now
Late summer and early fall provide ideal pruning for bleeder trees such as maples birches walnuts and yellowwood, with Beech and hornbeam moderate bleeders. Bartlett researchers say sap loss will not occur as crown growth for the season is complete. Remove weak diseased dead branches and prune to balance the tree while opening the interior to light and air.
