For producers wanting to double down on hay production after a summer harvest cereal crop, there are several options. Dry stalk sorghum sudan is a faster curing hay option and the addition of warm season legumes such as forage soybeans or cowpeas can significantly boost protein levels. Putting up higher moisture haylage or baleage can increase cover crop options with the addition of brassicas and thick stemmed grasses that otherwise might not quickly drydown.
