Emergency Hay Crops Soybeans Seeded For Feed Now
Farm Bureau advises emergency hay from legume and non legume grasses with soybeans as the heat tolerant legume. Plant up to June 15 for hay, with larger yields from earlier sowing. Drilled seeding in 8 to 21 inch rows favors hay production. 30 to 42 inch rows yield best in some tests. Varieties include Medium Green, Wilson, Roosevelt, Peking, and Ebony among others.
Fly repellent for dairy cows and soy bean by product swine feed
A practical dairy farm remedy uses a soap water and napthalin in crude oil mix applied with a brush to cows to curb fly attacks and boost milk. Soy bean oil meal, a by product of southern mills, improves swine feed when added to corn, outperforming linseed meal and supporting pigs on forage with corn.

Soybean Hay Potential and Harvesting Tips
The text explains soybeans as high yielding for hay and suitable as an emergency or catch crop. It covers harvesting methods, difficulties with seeded cultivated rows, and advises cutting when leaves yellow and pods near full, noting moisture affects curing and leaf retention. It contrasts soybeans with clover, alfalfa, timothy and explains nitrogen fixation and rotation considerations.
Prairie field crops limit cow peas in Iowa climate
Cow peas fail in this state's climate and prove unprofitable compared with soy beans. For emergency hay crops, sorghums and millet offer late planting options and solid yields. Sudan grass, a non legume, stands out as a top emergency hay crop, matching millet and oat hay in feeding value and exceeding them in yield according to Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station observations.

Advantages Of Sudan Grass For Emergency Hay Crops
An Iowa extension summary extols Sudan grass as an emergency hay or pasture crop with four key advantages: high yield records from 2 cuttings average 3.47 tons per acre, best 5.9 tons, and a low of 2.20. It is easy and cheap to grow, can be seeded May 10 to July 1, with best results around May 25 to June 15, and shows eight years of dependable performance including drought tolerance. It compares favorably to sorghums for hay and pasture and can be stored in barns, unlike sorghum. Seeding methods include broadcasting or drilling, with seed depth about 1 to 1.5 inches and rates around 10 to 25 pounds, yielding similar results across methods due to rapid stooling. Continuous stand promotes dense turf and versatile use for hay or forage.

Seed Rates for Wheat Do Not Significantly Alter Yields
Agricultural notes advise 15 pounds of seed per acre as good practice and seed termination between 75 and 100 percent. In 16 inch rows seed rates as low as five pounds per acre can be used, and two and a half pounds per acre for 32 inch rows. Wider row seedings show little yield difference between 2 6 or 10 pounds per acre.
Sudan grass as pasture for farm animals
Sudan grass provides good pasture for horses cattle sheep and hogs. Do not graze seedlings until about a foot tall early July. it then roots firmly and resists trampling. A hay crop can be cut late July with ample pasture through August or grazed early summer followed by hay. Occasional prussic acid risk exists in extreme drought or after frost.
