OKLAHOMA ALFALFA PRODUCTION CALENDAR

Forage Quality

In addition to variation due to weather, hay quality varies from field to field, and year to year depending on management strategies and environmental conditions. To maximize animal performance or selling price, have your hay tested by a certified laboratory for nutritive values after harvest. Remember, results can only be as good as the sample received.
