OKLAHOMA ALFALFA PRODUCTION CALENDAR  

Hay Storage

Check round bales for wastage during the past winter. Depending on the bale's diameter, a loss of two inches on the outside surface can represent over 10 percent of the bale's dry matter. To minimize storage losses, bales stored outside and unprotected should be used by early spring before the air temperature, humidity and precipitation significantly increase. In general, bales should be used by March 1.
