Machine Dried Versus Field Cured Soybean Hay for Beef Steers

M. G. Snell1

Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station

Abstract

Losses in the cutting and curing of hays are due to two chief causes; namely (a) shattering of leaves and (b) rain and dew. Such losses are extremely heavy in Louisiana at times and in order to alleviate the losses, the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station has developed a hay drying machine.

This machine consists of a furnace, a rotatory drum about eight feet in diameter and thirty feet long, an ensilage cutter, an expansion chamber, and an elevation auger together with the necessary driving mechanisms. This particular machine is driven by electric motors, but a 15–30 horsepower tractor would furnish sufficient power to run the whole plant.
