This statement in the Hay & Forage Growers eHay Weekly email spot on!
“The beauty and curse of a biological system is that we always play the averages and probabilities because very few things happen 100 percent of the time.
For any given question there are an infinite number of variables ranging from soil and weather to a farm’s financial status. Nothing is ever exactly the same.
This leaves us with general research-based recommendations that work most of the time and for most situations, but not all.
In the end what we really have left is the science and the art of haymaking. Both are needed and each complements the other.”
