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.

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.
