Gathje This one baffles me. I don’t think there are a lot weeds or old grass in the field that would drive lab tests lower than the PEAQ estimate. I guess the first two tests are quite a bit lower than they should be based on trends like most other farms. 250 230 210

Frericks I’d assume the first lab tests were low for the field and I’d expect should be more like others where RFV and RFQ are running a somewhat above the PEAQ line, unless there is something uniquely different about the field. Vern says lots of multileaf expression. That might improve test, depending on what is also happening with stems. 270 250

This was done with information available through about noon on May 20. It’s JUST another look at things. Could mean a little something, maybe not. Remember to consider this in the light of your own experience, expertise and common sense for making hay, feeding, and thinking about the weather, first. Then consider whether this adds any useful information. Dan Martens, Extension Educator
