[QUOTE="callmefence, post: 1372871, member: 24947"] You need a moco to cut it and dry it right. Nitrate and purassic acid both come from stress. Nitrate is related to nitrogen. So if you can control it somewhat by applying fertilizer in smaller split applications. Also nitrate levels in hay is permanent. Does not go away. Nitrates occur mostly in the lower third of the stalk. So the usual practice is to just cut it high. Purrasic acid is different. But quite predictable. Stress from drought, frost, cutting, or grazing. Followed by good growing conditions. It is highest in the new growth. It's quite simple you put the cows on it during the summer and leave them on it as long as it's growing. If it's gets dry or severely grazed down. Pull them when you get rain. Two weeks of growth is sufficient. Frost is another concern. Try to have it used up before frost. If you get a hard killing frost.no worries. But if you get a light frost it's a bad deal. In that situation I usually kill it with round up. That's what I have to say. I'm but a simple post pounder. Please do your own research.
