Subject: RE: Big need to for Oat Forage?


Sioux Center, Iowa
We got away from cover crops for alfalfa. Too much fertility in this area makes it nearly impossible to get oats harvested even as a silage without it lodging and causing damage to the hay stand in the process. We've gone to just direct seeding the hay. This way we get 3 cuttings of hay vs 2 plus the oats. We're in a position to chop the hay for forage, so any weeds get turned into feed pronto.
