Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-06-15
By e. B. WILSON, e.

HALF OF MONTANA'S hay crop
is wasted each year. That may sound
like a greatly exaggerated state
ment, and I will not try to prove it
conclusively, but when you add up
the losses caused by loss of leaves,
field, the hay spoiled in the field,
the hay spoiled in stacks and blown
off the tops of stacks, as well as the
hay wasted in feeding and the hay
destroyed by fire, I am afraid the
total losses would add up to at least
half of the total hay we raise.
Let's stop these losses. The loss of
leaves can be greatly reduced by
cutting in the early bloom stage.
Nearly half of the alfalfa plant, if
cut in early bloom, is leaves. If not
cut until late bloom, the proportion
of leaves is about one-third or one
quarter of the total plant. 1t is better
to start cutting a little early than to
finish too late.
Losses in Raking
Many leaves are lost in raking and
handling, as well as in too much
field drying, SO. ARE should be used
in reducing the amount of handling
to a minimum.
The loss of color in hay is an
indication of a loss in vitamin A
content, which is an important part
of the feed. This color, or vitamin
A, is lost when hay is sun-dried in
the field, when it is rained on, and
when it heats in the stack or other
storage.
The green color or vitamin A
loss al be reduced by a minimum of
sun drying, by putting it into a
silo very green, or by artificial dry
ing. 1t may not be possible to use
all of these methods, but attention
to them will save some of the vita
min A.
Spoilage in hay stacks takes a
large toll. A lot of our loose hay is
poorly stacked or not stacked at
all. These hay frames or cages or
sometimes just backboards, are ex-
cellent to save labor in stacking
hay. However, stacks made in this
name should at least be topped
off with a pointed top. They should
be fed within the first year.
In some areas loose stacks should
be tied down so that the wind will
not blow the hay away.
