[QUOTE="herofan, post: 1336480, member: 17843"] I have 30 acres of hay that is mostly Fescue and Orchard grass. It was neglected for several years. We got 63, 5ft. rolls a few years ago just cutting what was there after no treatment for years. After reseeding in 2014 and fertilizing the last three yeas, we got 100 rolls last year and 109 this year. We have plenty of hay. I typically feed around 85 rolls a winter, and will start with 160+ rolls going into this winter. We usually fertilize once a year in the spring. Would it be ok to skip fertilizing for a year? I assume it would produce less that year, but otherwise, are there any negative issues for the long run to be on an every other year fertilizing cycle? [/QUOTE]
