DECISIONS
It is late! Com planting tune has
come and gone according to the
calendar. In Central Pennsylvania
most com is not even in the ground
yet. But hay is coming on like gang
busters. Orchard grass is pushing
heads, alfalfa is knee high or
better, other grasses are lush and
coming along very rapidly, now
what do you do? Do you have a
break in com planting to make hay
(or better haylage)? Do you go
ahead with com and let hay
making go until you are done with
corn? Do you do both at the same
time’
The Case
For Corn
The choice for a farmer who
tries to think it thru is not easy.
Let's look at the case for planting
corn over hay making. It is im
portant to get com in so it will get
up and shade the ground when the
dry spells hit. There is a definite
relationship between tune of
planting and yield. Sure the soils
are too cold in some areas for best
germination. Sure the seeds will
eventually rot in the ground if the
soil stays too wet and too cold. But
the risk is worth it because that
earlier planted com, if it comes up,
will yield extra feed or grain for
sale. So the case for planting com
is pretty strong.
The Case For
Hay (Haylage)
On the other hand hay quality is
a key factor for dairymen in
terested m producing economical
milk. There is no question that
dairymen who feed ample high
quality hay forage can produce
milk at a lower cost than those with
lower quality hay forage. It
reduces protein purchases, it
improves the digestibility of the
entire ration, and it means that a
high producing cow will actually
eat more total feed. In addition to
quality, early cut they will often

result in higher total yields
throughout the year. Remember
that in most years there is more
rain in June than in July. With a
hay field where the crop is off
before June 10, the bulk of the
recovery and growing for the
second crop will come in June.
Again there is a risk involved. It
may ram or mowed hay which
reduces its value. However the risk
is worth it, because of a potential
for over 6000 pomuL of milk more
per acre from a 22% protein hay
crop than from a 16% hay crop. So
the case is also strong for hay
making at the critical stage.
This is one year where “no-till”
planting may be part of the
solution. The only problem with
“no-till” is that the soil takes
longer to warm up than where it is
plowed. Howevcfr plowing and
discing takes longer and usually
ties up the same tractor you need
to run the forage harvester.
If you can rent an extra tractor
and hire someone to either custom
plant the corn or operate your
planter, you may be able to plant
corn and harvest hay. This will
cost more and may mean that you
will have to spend a lot of time and
effort coordinating things. If you
hire labor and/or machinery you
may not be able to put much tone
on the tractor seat. You may have
to be flexible to make decisions
which field do we harvest-or
plant? A part breaks or begins to
wear so efficiency is reduced -
what to do? Is the haylage at the
right moisture level or do you go
ahead with it because of those rain
clouds? So the decision you made
to farm doesn’t stop there. Nor
does the decision to put com
planting ahead of hay harvest or
visa versa relieve further decision
making for long. Remember - no
decision is still a decision you
make.
