Description

On this episode of the Working Ranch Radio Show, Dr. Carson Roberts from the University of Missouri lays out Ten Reasons You Should Quit Making Hay. From the skyrocketing cost of equipment to the hidden toll on soil health, we’ll explore why it may be time to take a hard look at haying and what it means for your bottom line. We’ll also touch on issues like oversupply, labor challenges, and winter-feeding strategies — all with profitability in mind.


And while we’re thinking profits, we’ll visit with Trevor Greenfield of Rio Nutrition on how ranchers can maximize returns through efficiency in feed and pasture, building resilience for the future.
