A western Nebraska hay producer says it’s been a good year for producing and marketing alfalfa hay.
Mike Manion produces high-quality, irrigated alfalfa hay in the Nebraska Panhandle near Hemingford. Manion says they’ve been very dry this summer, but he says that’s not all bad.
“It’s been hard to keep enough water on this year. The pivots can’t shut off until we’re ready to cut the hay,” Manion says. “But as far as getting the hay put up, quality-wise, it’s been a lot easier this year.
