[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1193693, member: 17767"] TOM, Kris holds high standards for her hay. I have had my hay tested in the past two years and I have discussed the subject with our Extension Agent. You should contact that office in your county. What I can offer you is that your hay is about what the average hay in my area looks like. I have purchased hay that was in the 5 to 6 range on crude protein. When I looked at it before purchase I thought it was much better. You don't know hay unless you test it. What you can do to improve your hay is put amendments on your field. Crushed stone is often needed to provide Calcium and minerals. Fertilizer is needed if you want good protein levels. Also, a factor in nutrition levels is timing your harvest and proper curing. [/QUOTE]
