Hay Grade by Time of Cutting and Curing
Prof. L. A. Dalton of the New York State College of Agriculture explains how cutting time affects hay grades. Timothy, clover, and alfalfa must be cut at specific bloom stages to avoid brown color, lost aroma, and woody stems, with raking while still sappy to reduce color loss.

Silage Superior to Fodder for Dairy Cows in Value
An Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station study finds corn silage yields higher feeding value than corn fodder. Using $4.50 per ton for silage, eight tons per acre, silage matches $36.00 value versus fodder at $16.21 after losses. Fodder per acre reaches only 45 percent of silage value.

Handling Soy Beans for Hay and Seed
The text advises cutting soybeans for hay after seed pads form and leaves yellow. For seed soy, wait until full maturity before harvest. leaves drop or wilt, then bind and shock to dry. Hay cut earlier should wilt in swathes before raking. avoid overdrying to prevent leaf shatter. Shocking sheds water better if done when the crop is still a little green.
