Table 3. Estimated Nutrient Content of Two Tons Mixed Grass Hay
P205 | K20 | Sulfur | Calcium | Magnesium | Manganese |
22* | 76* | 8* | 8* | 3* | 0.2* |
*Pounds per two tons hay. Estimate of above-ground growth only. There will be a nutrient contribution from belowground biomass, but this is more difficult to measure. This is an estimate so can't be used to make a farm-specific nutrient budget; instead, a sample of the farm's hay should be analyzed. |
