Abstract
The process of this invention uses 2 bars to tip alfalfa or clover hay forward while a third bar holds spray devices that deliver liquid chemical drying agents to the crop in such a way that most of the chemical is applied to the plant's stems and very little is applied to the plant's leaves. Effectiveness of the liquid chemical drying agents is maximized in this way.
