Best Curing Process Needed for Alfalfa
Extension alfalfa expert L E Willoughby of Kansas State Agricultural College says ideal alfalfa should be 60 percent green and 40 percent leaves. Cutting on bright days and swathing too soon causes brittleness and leaf shatter, while immediate swath turning slows curing and risks moisture. Wilt in the swath four to six hours then rake into a loose windrow, weather permitting, and hay can often be stacked the next day. If rain arrives, turning the wilted windrow can minimize damage, and some fair hay results from repeated rain and turning.

Home Grown Grain Used in Feeding Mixture
A dairy cow diet using 80 pounds of corn silage and 10 to 12 pounds of alfalfa calls for a grain mix with 90 percent farm grown grains and 10 percent high protein concentrate. If timothy hay replaces alfalfa, the mix becomes 50 percent high protein concentrate and 50 percent home grown grains. For 10 pounds of daily grain, timothy allows five pounds of home grown grain and five pounds bought at 2.5 to 3 cents per pound, while alfalfa allows nine pounds home grown with only one pound protein concentrate purchased.
