ROCKSPRING (Centre
Co.) The hay show at Penn
State University’s Ag Progress
Days saw an increase in the num
ber of entries with 133 to last
year’s 100, but participation in the
annual show flucuates with the
weather.
Lester Vough, a professor with
the University of Maryland, has
served as hay judge at the show for
several years.
The hay show is broken down
into three sections field cured,
partially field cured, mow finish
with no hay preservatives and no
forced heat; partially field cured
but heat dried and no preserva
tives; and partially field cured and
preserved (usually propionic acid,
or a derivative).
Entries for heat dried hay have
been low because of the higher
associated cost of treating hay that
way.
Of the three sections of hay,
there 10 classes to each section, for
a total of 30. Because of the lack of
entries in the second section, 22
