Question 1 Report

Pasture crops are best used in preparing hay
Answer Details
Pasture crops are best used in preparing hay just after seed maturation. At this stage, the plants have reached their peak nutritional content, and the stems have begun to dry up, which makes them easier to cure for hay. Curing involves removing moisture from the plants to prevent spoilage during storage. If the plants are harvested before seed maturation, they will have less nutritional value, while harvesting them after they have started to dry up excessively will lead to excessive leaf loss, making the hay less nutritious.
