We are about a month away from putting 300 lb to the acre of 10-20-10 on our hay before first cutting. I generally follow up with 100 lb of 40-0-0 per cutting, treated with agrotain.
Last year, I got 50 4x4 bales from our bottom land 5 acre piece at 26% moisture.
I might be one of the only ones who takes pride in good hay. This year I have 110 acres of hay to cut. Close to $7000 in fertilizer costs split between good bottom and some of the upper land that won't produce no matter what. When you get a good 3rd cutting at $7 per square, that fertilizer money pays back quick.
Does anyone else on here take pride in their hay? It's a good lifestyle to stay fit. I don't mind the work when it pays. I know a lot of people who pay to go to a gym. My "gym" pays me to go! LOL
