OKLAHOMA ALFALFA PRODUCTION CALENDAR

Forage Quality

Laboratory results are only as good as the sample received, so be sure to take a representative sample. Hay quality varies from field to field, and year to year depending on management strategies, environmental conditions, and weather. To maximize animal performance or selling price, hay should be tested by a certified laboratory for nutritive values.
