Fertilizer and Hay Flavor

Sometimes you hear of a customer who’s horse won’t eat the hay and others will say their horse eats it all - no waste. Knock on wood, our hay has been on the good taste and no waste side of the spectrum.

We heavily fertilize to maximize our yield, a lot of folks around us either fertilize very little or not at all.

Question is - does ample fertilize make for good flavored, tasty hay? I’m thinking it must in that a healthy plant probably tastes better than one starving, just like corn fed beef surly would taste better than one who’s ribs are showing due to low inputs?

Just curious your hay experience - fertilizer vs flavor.

Thanks!
Bill
