Quality hay and how to make it
Hay production needs to be managed with a similar attention to detail as farmers give their regular crops. Early and informed decisions are important for hay production and to prevent ending up with poor quality hay. Hay tends to be a more versatile option than silage, as it is cheaper to produce and transport on a dry matter basis than silage. Storing excess hay is a cheap and effective option to help mitigate the effects of short feed supply during drought.
