Farmers who have soybean hay this year can feed it to horses with satisfactory results if judgment is used. A B Caine of Iowa State College says roughage should be no more than six percent soybean hay with the rest from oat straw corn fodder wild hay or Smythy. Feeding grain must be adjusted to soybean hay intake and trials show soybean hay as valuable as alfalfa or clover for the amount consumed. Soybean straw provides satisfactory wintering for idle horses and mules.
