Have you heard of this?

Talked to mom today. She told me something I hadn't heard of. Apparently a friend of hers was contacted right before harvest by the ag dept from K-State. They asked if she would take part in an experimental project.

Apparently they had her bale her wheat straw in round bales. They then bagged each one and added anhydrous ammonia. Mom couldn't remember how long they were supposed to stay like that or how much they added but the end result is nutritious "hay" for livestock feed. I guess now everyone around there has round baled straw to do the same.

I can't imagine that the ammonia does anything for the flavor or palatability of straw - I don't think cattle will eat it well.

Anyone heard this before? New one to me!
