| I always thought that dried hay was considered to be 10% moisture. If so, it would be 1285 x .85 / .90 = 1213 lb/bale. Multiply # of bales per acre x 1213 lb/bale and you have lbs of alfalfa per acre for that cutting. Divide that number by 2000 lbs (= 1 ton), and you have tons/acre. So, how many cuttings will you have? Do that for each cutting, total them up, and you will have tons/acre. Yeah, it's that easy. |
