University of Minnesota Extension Launches
New Forage Website and Newsletter
A
new Forage Website and Newsletter have been launched by the
University of Minnesota Extension Forage Team.
The website highlights current events and programs, research
updates, hay auction results, and recent publications. There is also
a wealth of information on a variety of topics including alfalfa,
clover, corn silage, economics, establishment, fertility, forage
quality, grasses, harvesting and storage, livestock, and weed
control. The website address is
http://www.extension.umn.edu/forages
The University of Minnesota Forage Team has also initiated a
free, quarterly, 4-page e-mail newsletter called Forage Quarterly to
disseminate that latest information on forage research and events at
the University of Minnesota and in the upper Midwest. Forage
Quarterly will be produced in August, November, February, and May
each year. Each issue will focus on timely forage management
information for farmers and agricultural professionals, focusing on
the following areas: hot topics, alternative forages, harvesting and
storage, pastures, livestock, equipment, research updates, and
upcoming events and programs.
Read the first issue of Forage Quarterly
and sign-up for future issues on the website
