General
For producers in the upper Midwest and the North, August can be one of the most stressful months on the cow herd. Extreme heat waves, as predicted for 2016, reinforce the need to constantly monitor water sources to make sure they are both clean and cool.
In the Midwest, the primary factor that influences quality of harvested dry forage is weather. In many instances, wet spring weather delays the first cutting, resulting in mature hay that is decreased in quality, palatability and digestibility.
