Proper Drying Is Essential To Making Hay The sun can still be relied on for a good start in modem hay making, says County Agent Geor ge A. Loyd, but Old Sol can’t be expected to complete the job of drying top quality hay. Fresh-cut swaths of forage dry to a loose, fluffy state so quickly that the sun can accomplish this first stage of moisture removal satisfactorily on most farms in the county. After this initial dry ing, however, reduction of the fi nal moisture content desired be comes slow. For this reason the use of artificial drying equipment offers a considerable advantage to the haymaker. Whatever the weather, cut forage loses feed value during each additional hour of field dry ing. Carotene (Vitamin A) losses are rapid at this time. Up-to date practices stress ways to speed up hay drying in all stages to cut nutrient losses from dry ing as well as to reduce the risks from rain damage to cut hay in the field. When rain falls on partially dried forage, nutritive losses in crease because drying time is prolonged. Rain also causes lea ching of soluble nutrients, leaf shattering and promotes growth of mold. Farmers in Brantley County can increase yields and improve the quality of their hay by practicing better haymaking methods. Put ing up top quality hay is an im portant phase of Management, step four in Brantley County’s Big M Pasture Program to make more grass, more beef, more milk and more money.
