Too many people do not do this to increase their grass hay yields!

[@windrowfarm]

Great video! Couldn’t agree more. I usually do the same rate if straight urea. Haven’t ever used treated though, so I’m intrigued at that. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheScientistHayFarmer]

Treated is the only thing I use. It’s only $30/ton more and totally worth it if an expected rain doesn’t materialize.

Thx 4 sharing my hay making friend.

[@ericorozco114]

Great video thank you! Any videos on proper watering and soil moisture monitoring?

[@TheScientistHayFarmer]

I don’t irrigate, so whatever falls out of the sky is what I get and I can’t do anything about it!

Field looks great, was curios as to why you don’t add nitrogen into your spring fertilization program

[@TheScientistHayFarmer]

I do have nitrogen in the spring as ammonium sulfate and coated urea. But I go back and add more nitrogen after each cutting as it gets spent quickly. Heavy growth in first cut will consume most of the nitrogen added in the spring. Sometimes I skip urea in the spring because it slows the grass down so it isn’t over mature by the time I’m able to cut it.

Thanks for the video! Do you soil test or add any Phosphorus or Potassium?

[@TheScientistHayFarmer]

Yes, NPK is added in the spring, usually around March or early April. I add based on soil test. Then after first cut I top dress with more nitrogen.

What type of hay is this? It does look great!

[@TheScientistHayFarmer]

This is orchard grass and Kentucky bluegrass with a little bit of red clover.

[@TobyElGato]

u could try a test strip of compost extract to see what happens. small scale would be easy enough with a 5 gallon sprayer

[@nativeindian8672]

I am wondering if you spead the fertilizer first and then plow it in would that work?

[@TheScientistHayFarmer]

Yes that works great. You just don’t want to incorporate it too deep.

Where are you located at I am looking for someone to associate with for an opportunity to get back to restarting my micro-mini-homestead. I am currently in Lincoln Nebraska.

[@TheScientistHayFarmer]

I am in SW Michigan.

Here is the question... Im not from USA, I live in México, and i want to have a very nice grass in my yard... How can i do it?? purchase FOSFATE? ad URINE??? I supose My Urine to make the reaction ??? That is UREA.. UREA=URINE ... Can i do that??? just Guessing..

[@TheScientistHayFarmer]

You would need to do a soil test to really see what your yard needs. Urine is only 2% urea, and half of that would be nitrogen, so about 1% nitrogen total from urine urea. Not enough to do anything. If you don’t want to do a soil test, do they sell bagged yard fertilizer down there in home-improvement type stores?
