Dear Livestock Farmer; Dr. Cloy Knodt tells us that a ton of good quality alfalfa haylage containing 40% moisture and 20% crude protein on a dry matter basis can be an excellent source of protein and considerable economic value. Such haylage contains enough crude protein to equal that of 545 lbs. of 44% protein soybean meal which would cost $54.50 ($200.00 per ton) or $65.40 ($240.00 per ton). Therefore, alfalfa haylage can easily be worth $5O to $65 per ton just for its crude protein value as compared to .buying soybean meal. Sincerely yours, Dick Enck 717-284-4973 PENN-JERSEY HARVESTORE SYSTEMS, INC Strasburg Pike in Lancaster, has been employed by Brubaker for 5 months.
