[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1064220, member: 18809"] Is there a lot of leaves on it when it is harvested? While were were in our severe drought last year, the extension put on several forage tours. A big surprise to me was about soybean hay. Many producers were forced to roll it for hay since it was too dry to produce any soybeans, and it was being sold as an excellent feed source. When it is tested, it is high in all the good stuff. The problem is, cows will only eat the leaves (which often shatter and fall off) and leave all of the stem. So even though the hay tested great, it was just about worthless as a feed source. I thought that since peanuts are a legume like soybean, maybe it would be the same but I guess not! Good to learn something new. Of course, out here, no one grows peanuts! [/QUOTE]
