While the later cuttings are more easily cured in the field, due to the fact. Fig. 70. — Cutting timothy hay. that they contain much less water than the earlier cuttings, the hay is not of as good quality as the earlier cuttings. Late cutting is favorable for the storing up of nutrients in the tuber at the base of the culm, and therefore more favorable for a permanent stand. Timothy is not a good pasture grass. The sod does not stand tramping well, and close grazing materially lowers the yield of succeeding crops. Sometimes timothy is grown for seed rather than.
