In the past two weeks, I had two inquiries about a grass that was invading a grass hayfield and pasture.

Taking large round and large rectangular bales and wrapping them with white plastic to make bale silage (baleage) has become a common practice.
Managing forages for hay production requires much skill. Excellent hay producers understand that yield, quality and persistence are key for a perennial forage production system to be successful.
Are you prepared for hay harvest? It is hard to believe with the persistent cool spring temperatures, but cool-season grass and legume hay harvest will likely begin a month from now.
Perennial cool-season grass/legume pastures broke winter dormancy several weeks ago.
Have you ever seeded a pasture or hay field and still have seed in the back of your pickup truck or trailer that was meant to be in the soil upon completion of the seeding?
Purdue University Extension, in collaboration with the Indiana Forage Council, conducted a “Forage Forum Friday” webinar series that has many different topics related to forage crop production, utilization, and marketing.
Corn is an excellent silage crop. However, if corn harvested as silage has lost yield potential and forage quality the last several years because of tar spot, maybe an alternative to consider is forage sorghum.
Purdue University, in collaboration with the Indiana Forage Council, will be hosting educational webinars about forage production and utilization on Friday noon Eastern Time beginning December 3.
What have been your challenges with forage production and utilization in 2021?
