    Henry County Extension Office

    The wet spring this year resulted in several acres of hay that were cut and baled late. This can be problematic since much of our hay is derived from fescue and fescue-legume mix stands. The later the hay harvest, the more the plants advance in maturity from a vegetative stage, causing the percentage of the good stuff, energy and protein, to decrease.
