Hay Is In
Believe it or not you will soon be
making hay or haylage. Some
alfalfa-grass fields are already
knee high in this area. Most look
exceptionally good except where
water or ice smothered spots.
Right now is when you have to
start making some decisions. Are
you going to put that first crop in
the silo? When will you start to cut
it? Which field will you do first?
Which is most essential-high yields
or high quality? Do you want a 2
ton first crop at 16 percent protein
or a 1.5 ton first crop at 20 percent
protein? That is a tough decision
isn’t it? Before making it, consider
this;
1. A 1300 pound cow can eat
between 42 and 52 pounds of dry
matter per day.
2. Two major factors governing
this intake are forage quality and
her level of production.
3. Since a cow will eat more total
feed if hay forage is high in quality,
you the dairyman gain in 3 ways,
(a) She gets more nutrients per
pound of feed - each extra pound of
TDN consumed means 3 pounds of
milk, (b) She will eat more total
feed, (c) Since hay forage quality
usually means more protein you
save on protein purchases. End
result is more milk at less cost.
What About End Crop?
The sooner you get the first crop
off, the sooner the second crop can
start to grow. If we can get a
substantial amount of vegetation
on the second cutting in June

Utocasttr Farming, Saturday, May 12,1984—D23
than July), your total annual hay
yield should not only be better but
also bigger.
Farmers who aim for a
maximum yield first crop of
alfalfa hay usually lose in 2 ways.
They certainly sacrifice quality
which will reduce milk production.
They usually sacrifice total annual
yield.
That is the biggest reason far
mers give for not cutting hay when
it is ready. Sure it will rain if you
wait long enough. Farming is a big
risk business. Every farmer takes
risks - weather, markets, politics,
accidents, etc. Even more than
those risks are the risks you take
when you put a seed in the ground
knowing that the return from that
seed may be months or even a year
down the road. Those who can’t
take a calculated risk on har
vesting hay are usually losers in
this area.
Do you want to continue as a
dairy farmer? Or are you really
too lazy to look for something else?
If you are serious about being a
successful dairy farmer, than no
more excuses.
Get that hay crop off early - set
as a goal nothing else less than 20%
crude protein. Get a forage test on
it to prove that you did it and to
develop a balanced feed program.
Top quality forage may mean the
difference between being in
business, just hanging on, or out of
business within the next 2 years.
