[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1024643, member: 498"] Realizing that there are regional differences but with it being this late in the season it probably wouldn't pay to fertilize this year. But keep in mind that by harvesting hay you are removing nutrients. Those nutrients need to be replaced somehow. If you don't replace them both the quality and the amount of hay produced will suffer. Cutting grass and leaving it lay does not remove nutrients. Grazing removes some but not nearly what haying does. Most of the nutrients pass through the cow and are deposited back into the soil.
