culter - 8/30/2015 20:21 Does hay lose much quality if mowed at night? I'm talking about 2nd cut alfalfa/grass. Just 40 acres. From a "Drying" aspect - hay has the most respiration (amount of time to loose moisture) the first couple hours after cutting. I would suspect, cutting during the daylight, sun of the day, would give it the most respiration possible. Cutting at night would give less .. . . and of course the sugars mentioned above . . . Maybe Hay Wilson will chime in ? |
