[QUOTE="novatech, post: 810589, member: 5494"] In some cases, not all, one could save a lot on simply not baling their last cutting of hay. Stockpiling of that last cutting and turning the cattle in when they need that hay the first part of the season will allow it to still have a fair amount of nutrition. If it was cross fenced with movable electric even more could be saved by controlling the grazing. If the field was over-seeded with rye/and or clover (or what ever works in your area) a spring grazing could be had. The added benefit is that the rye acts as a cover crop, scavenging the N and recycling it back into the soil. This N may otherwise be lost, in part, into the atmosphere, or leached into the ground. I have done this on a couple of fields and found that it made an improvement on the field for the following years cut. This will not work for everyone but if you can I would highly recommend it.
