A New Jersey agriculture specialist says soy beans are the best emergency crop for dairymen lacking sufficient hay. They can be grown alone or with sudan grass or sorghum, respond to lime or tolerate unlimed land, and store well in the field. They rival alfalfa in feeding value and improve soil for following crops, though curing hay in the field is key to avoiding spoilage.
