Bottom Line:

For commercial hay growers, small increases in yield per acre are magnified by their large acreages. The 55 alphajoule-treated acres of this 110-acre circle produced 29 more tons of dairy quality hay during the season than the untreated half. Using $200 per ton, that’s nearly $6,000 greater return from the treated side of the field. If this were 1,000 acres, the difference could be well over $100,000.00.
