In this edition of Field Talk, Farmtario reporter Jennifer Glenney speaks with Deb Campbell, owner of Agronomy Advantage Inc., about first cut hay.

“Yes it’s about yield, yes it’s about quality, but in the big picture it’s also about reaching productivity out of these hay fields and getting hopefully a solid three years of productivity out of them. Having a solid nutrition plan for your alfalfa long term is a good strategy,” Campbell said.

Campbell was in a field in North Wellington and says first cut hay should be starting heavily in that area this weekend with a good stretch of sun in the forecast.
