[QUOTE="simme, post: 1776423, member: 40418"] There are two different versions of "peanut hay". Peanut vine hay is baled vines and residue from producing a crop of peanuts. Baled behind the peanut combine. May be higher moisture content than desired, have sand and dust in it, subject to aflatoxin and nitrate issues depending on growing conditions. Needs to be stored out of any rain. Hard on the baler due to sand. Produced as a secondary product - main product being the peanuts. Grown from seed planted yearly. Management was on the nut production and quality, not the vine bales. Perennial (rhizoma) peanut hay is a forage that came from Brazil. Crop does not produce nuts for harvest. Not established from seed. Established from rhizomes taken from an established field - like hybrid bermuda is sprigged. Does not need nitrogen since it is a legume. Resistant to insects. Deep rooted. Grown as an alfalfa substitute for horses. [/QUOTE]
