Might be some variables, region, weather, but from my limited experience with baling it, (we had 5 acres of it for many years) back then, was that if you cut it on time, ( here it was typically 1st cut late May, early June 2nd mid summer - August, and 3rd mid to late September).
The farmers that chop it, seem to do so more often, more cuttings, it does grow like heck around here when taken care of, especially with lots of rain like we had this summer.

We used a mower conditioner, and a side delivery rake, don't think it was ever dry enough to worry about knocking the leaves off. We used to feed it to our horses, proportionally to regular grass hay, as you know, have to be a little careful feeding it, high octane LOL !
