I'm not disputing your word that this is the way Hay was done in Ok.in the fifties but it sure wasn't done this way in ILL. in the fifties. Dad had me or some one else cut the hay with a 8n ford with a 7' sickle mower,raked it into windrows with either a Oliver or AC side delivery rake, when ready he chopped it with a fox chopper powered with our MM U which had a manual slip Clutch on the PTO,Hay was blown into wagons with a winch back front and blown into the barn with an fox apron blower. Hard ,hot dirty work for a mostly teenaged kid digging that hay out of the back of those old preself unloading wagons. He never Irrigated nor fertilized hay fields. Lime ,phosphate and crop rotation along with dairy herd manure is all any field on the farm received in the fifties.2 cuttings was average and if the field was slated for corn next year maybe a third cutting would be taken off it.Corn, oats then Hay was the crop rotation used then.
