Prince St Lancaster, Pa. Remove Straw From Hay Crop When Combining Since the combine leaves the straw, in the field on top of new seedings, many research projects have determined the effect of this straw on young legume and grass' plants. Associate County Agent Harry S. Sloat says these research, projects' have always shown that combined straw, if left on the field, can seriously decrease the stand of forage .plants. Any amount of loose straw above one ton per acre can cause injury to new seedings. For best results, Sloat suggests using the follow ing system for handling combined straw: Cut combined straw at normal hay height as soon as combining, is completed. The next step is toi remove everything,' both straw 1 and cut stubble. If less bedding is desired, remove the loose com bined straw and make stubble hay later in the season. Always keep one point in mind; weeds can be a problem later,so always cut” weeds, as low as pos sible. One low clipping will not hurt new seeding. rymg out of many administrative duties.
