Improved Variants of Forage Lead to Energy Efficiency
The efficient use of energy and nitrogen is of increasing importance to the average producer as they strive to get higher returns from forage. To help them achieve this new benchmark of efficiency improved variants of forage are being produced, writes...

Forage Focus: Using Low Quality Hay
Producing high quality hay depends upon cutting the forage plant at a vegetative stage and then getting enough dry sunny days to allow the plants to dry, ideally, to 15 to 18 percent moisture content before baling, writes Extension Educator Rory Lewandowski,...
