Results for tag: "Alfalfa Hay"

Alfalfa hay is a type of forage crop used in the agriculture industry. It is a perennial legume that is grown for livestock feed, primarily for dairy cows, horses, and other grazing animals. Alfalfa hay is high in protein, calcium, and other essential nutrients, making it a valuable feed source for livestock. It is also used as a soil amendment, as it adds nitrogen and other nutrients to the soil. Alfalfa hay is typically harvested in the late summer or early fall, when the plant is at its peak nutritional value. It is then baled and stored for later use. The hay is usually sold in large bales, which can be transported and stored more easily than loose hay.
