[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1025170, member: 14713"] All of my hay ground is dryland alfalfa mostly with some variation of western/crested/brome grass mix in it. I have no irrigation or creek bottoms. It is an unusual year to get a second cutting on dryland hay fields. In an exceptionally good year, we might get to choose between some quality second cutting, or possibly harvesting some seed. Guys with sub-irrigated creek bottoms, they might get a second, possibly third cutting most years, if the hoppers don't get it first. It might be likely in a good year that some fertilizer might be a sound investement. In a bad year, it would probably be a waste of money. I'm sorry I don't really have a good answer your question because I have never fertilized and don't personally know anyone locally who has. It's just not something that is done here. [/QUOTE]
