Hays and hay making in the Prairie provinces / by M.J. Tinline. : A12-8/104-1946E-PDF
"Hay crops have not received the attention they deserve from prairie farmers. More hay is needed to provide sufficient feed for the livestock population now on farms and ranches. Haying practices can be adopted that will improve the quality and feeding value of prairie grown hays and add to the revenue from livestock. More extensive use of labour saving devices would lower the cost of hay production and at the same time result in the storing of hay of much higher quality.The rotating of hay with grain in the park belt and in the irrigated areas would improve the physical texture of the soil, increase the resistance of the soil to erosion and reduce the cultivation necessary to keep weeds in control. There are many farms on which small irrigation projects could be cheaply installed. Experience on the Brandon Experimental Farm shows that yields from grasses and legumes can be substantially increased by top dressing with rotted manure in the autumn and irrigating in the spring and early summer."--Summary, p. 14.
