Abstract: Profit-maximizing nitrogen rates were determined for two bermudagrass hay producers, one who considers nitrate toxicity to cattle and one who does not consider nitrate toxicity. Producing bermudagrass hay with a reduced probability of nitrate toxicity requires a $6.02/ton premium to breakeven with hay produced without considering nitrate toxicity to cattle.
