• “We took five cuttings in 2015. Total tons per acre was 5.2. I think we got about
an extra ton an acre by applying hog manure after the third cutting. I’m sure we
seeded some weeds with the manure as you could see some pigweed in our fourth
cutting and our RFV fell to 145, but in our fifth cutting the weeds were gone and we
were back up to 182 RFV.” West Bend, IA
