The 1st cut of grass hay will yield ~ 1/2 to 2/3 of the seasonal total, with less yield from the 2nd (and 3rd (assuming decent summer rainfall) Don't expect much hay in the seeding/planting year, and maybe only 1/2 to 2/3 of the potential yield in the year after seeding ( the plants will still be developing their size and crowns.) Smooth brome also provides excellent permanent cover for sites such as waterways, eroded areas, I have noticed the field from the road just like we all do when driving. Second cut is half that and third somewhat less more if you add fertilizer after second cut. The summary gives a nice response curve, with average yields ranging from an unfertilized check yield of 1.35 tons of hay per acre, to a maximum yield of 3.15 tons of hay with 140 pounds of N. 2 Optimum soil test P: 60 to 100 lbs per acre, or 30 to 50 ppm (note: ppm x 2 = lbs per acre) Potassium (K) Hay production has a high demand for K. Each ton of hay harvested removes on average 50 lbs K 2 O per acre or 200 lbs K 2 O per acre for a typical 4 ton per acre yield. closely at the response of brome to spring-applied N fertilizer.

Alfalfa Field (dairy quality hay) Equation: Estimated 4 tons per acre yield of 16% moisture hay at $200 per ton = $800 per acre value for all three cuttings; minus buyer’s cost of harvest and weather risk at $324 per acre assuming three cuttings (Table 1); equals the buyer’s maximum pay price: $476 per acre for three cuttings ($800 - $324 = $476). Thus, the Ohio hay producer on 50 acres may only yield two to four tons per year, while the Texas farmer gets twice that. Other Expenses. The yield depends on location, fertilization, plant species, plant age, moisture content and how tightly the bales are packed. Smooth brome provides excellent pasture with a high carrying capacity and excellent hay when properly man-aged and harvested. Keep an open mind; but, double the guard for who you let in.
