Hi folks, I have about 8 acres of grass, 5 1/4 of it is hay field with the rest pasture. My goal is to produce top quality horse hay. We only need about 300 small square bales per year for ourselves, so we'll sell the rest.
I met with an agronomist from our local co-op last week. There is a mix of grasses with bluegrass and some orchard grass, and lots and lots of red clover. Part of the fields were overgrazed in previous years. I'll have to do a soil test but the fields are definitely in need of a boost, so we'll be putting down 100 lbs urea, 50 lbs AMS, and 100 lbs potash per acre for starters.
I'm trying to figure out a plan to improve my hay. Any suggestions? Thanks!
