[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1151363, member: 637"] You need to hit it with an application of nitrogen and phosphorus between cuttings. These are both needed for good growth. The nitrogen will boost the protein up in your hay and if you split up your nitrogen applications between cuttings, as it will help produce more new leaves, helps the plant produce food, and ups the protein in the hay. Really makes the hay grow faster. It is best applied before a rain to keep from evaporating. Some people say that a good heavy dew will help make it melt, but a rain is what you need. The Phosphorus will strengthen the root system and make it possible to absorb the nutrients from the soil. It can make your stand weak without it. We divided the fertile between the cuttings. Hit is with the both between each cutting. It's a 10 acre field of Vaughns. 1st cutting, we got 28 rolls of 5 X 6 2nd cutting, 40 bales 3rd cutting 40 bales 4th cutting 30 bales [/QUOTE]
