Little River, TX | Not familiar with your grass, for hay, but with bermudagrass hay and sorghum sudan hays the leaves shatter as much or more as alfalfa will.
To check it watch the accumulation of leaves below the baler when you stop to tie.
The key to leaf shatter: Hay will shatter only very slightly when the humidity inside the windrow is at or above 70%. This humidity will also encourage, sweating, heating, or mold. As the windrow humidity decreased down to 65% to 55% the leaf shatter will increase.
Thing about grass hay is a bale of stems still can look good, while alfalfa will look like a bundle of sticks. | |
