Forage Field Day

-29 Moo University, SDSU Extension, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension, and the Northern Plains Forage Association will co-host a field day for forage producers from 9:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 6 at the Haskell Ag Lab in Concord, Nebraska. Check-in begins at 8:45 a.m.

Forage Field Day is a regional event that brings together experts, producers, and industry professionals to provide field tours, panel discussions and presentations on forage-related topics. Registration is required and can be completed at https://go.iastate.edu/OSTYGR.

This year’s event kicks off with a listening session for an alfalfa revenue insurance program with AgriLogic Consulting and the National Alfalfa and Forage Alliance. The session will give producers and industry members an opportunity to learn about the product and provide input.

For cattle owners, Wisconsin dairy farmer Daniel Olson will speak on growing and using digestible forages in dairy rotations, and Shelby Gruss, Iowa State University assistant professor and Extension Forage Specialist, will talk about optimizing forage availability with cover crop grazing.
