.....is ag PhD app accurate for removal rates?
That's never made sense to me. Those values make assumptions that may not suit you for example it might not allow for nutrients leeching out after a rain or leaves shattering off and falling on the ground. Also, I "believe" that hay grown on more fertile ground might take up more nutrients/ton of DM I have nothing to back that up, but it's a theory I'm working on.
To me, it makes more sense to do an analysis of the hay and use that for your removal rate. I was shocked at how little nutrients are in wheat straw when I did an analysis. If you believe the scientists, you would think it' made of gold.
