Hay boosted by
energy crisis
NEW HOLLAND - Hay first cutting. Sometime? this
has always been’a good thing will let the farmer save a
but high-cost energy makes good crop he could otherwise
it look even better, claims lose.
Sperry New Holland’s Mac
Reeves. He points out that a
farmer can harvest and
store his alfalfa crop with far
less horsepower if he makes
hay as compared to silage.
Baling an acre of alfalfa
only takes a fraction of the
energy one would need to
operate a chopper for the
same crop handled as silage.
The energy used to operate
conveyors at storage
compares very favorably
with the power needed to
operate a blower at a tower
silo, adds Reeves.
He emphasizes silage or
haylage may be much the
best choice for alfalfa in a
streak of rainy weather in

However, today’s mower
conditioners do a better job
of mowing and conditioning
so one can get the crop off
and cured in less time. When
the weather is with farmer,
there’s no match for hay in
energy cost per ton of crop
drymatter harvested,
Reeves points out. Today’s
machines let them make
better use of limited spells of
good haying weather.
Higher machine capacity
in tons of hay baled per hour
makes it easier to snatch the
crop ahead of the next rain.
Mechanized handling makes
it easy to clear large ton
nages from large fields
quickly and with minimum
labor.
