Eastern NE KS | You are living a dream/idea of mine.
Early season high CP haylage, leaves field forage vegatative deeper into summer. Or stockpiled for winter.
Late season, push through and preserve forage that is hard to get dry.
Wrapper salesman says many farms can produce their own stockcow protein supplement instead of buying concentrate.
On farm haylage production in marginal weather should allow more timely custom dry hay production for neighbors.
So why do I still only make traditional dry hay?
Inexpensive commodity co-products availability.
Capital investment in wrapper.
Steep learning curve. Known producers 2 hours away makes learning by observation hard.
Our environment generally supports dry hay production.
Far flung hay fields and transport issues.
Plastic trash management.
