THE ADVANTAGES OF CROPSAVER-TREATED HAY VS DRY
PRESERVATIVE-TREATED HAY
Crop Saver-treated hay is greener and more moist
Improved hay bale quality bangs a higher sale price.
Cows love It and produce more milk when they eat it
Crop Saver is chemically buffered, minimizing equipment rust
Dry hay preservatives are weaker usually labeled only up to 25% moisture, and
are more difficult to apply evenly and consistently
