 Forage harvesters - hay

Although usually consumed fresh, forage crops may be harvested in several ways for storage and future use. The type of harvesting depends on many factors such as species, use, local conditions, machinery, logistics...:

Hay (sun drying)
Hay is the most common, partly because many crops suit its production, it can supply the nutrient requirements of most classes of livestock, and it can be cheap to make. It is well adapted to arid areas where its quality is not jeopardized by rain. However, other curing and handling conditions can affect hay quality (raking, baling) and its production can sometimes create quite a headache, especially for alfalfa (leaves may easily be lost during the operation). If swathing, raking may not be a problem with good timing for baling and the use of appropriate machines.
