It was a bit too wet to spray anything earlier this week… so I thought it be a great idea to try and help the neighbor make dry hay instead. 😂😂😂
DID YOU KNOW!
Certain species of grasses lose most of their quality and palatability (how much the cows enjoy eating it) the longer we wait to harvest.
That is why, while not ideal, it is usually better when getting later in the season, even if it is calling for rain, to cut the hay and try and wrap it wet, (about 50% of weight just being water, for dry hay it's only 15%) than to wait while the grass keeps maturing to the point where it loses most of its' nutritional value.
