- Nutritive value of alfalfa tends to drop during hot weather. It is more important to
harvest early (pre-bloom) if high quality hay is desired.
- Hay quality varies from field to field, and year to year depending on management
strategy and environmental conditions. To maximize animal performance or selling price,
have your hay tested by a certified laboratory for nutritive values. Remember, lab results
can only be as good as the sample received.
