“ We took 5 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 3rd cutting . I ’ m sure we seeded some weeds with the manure as you could see some pig weed 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
