Major Program: Forages
The 2022 Hay Day was hosted by the Weinel family in Campbell County. This was a wonderful event with a great attendance of over 150 people. A farm tour was offered on hay wagons that showcased the Weinel’s herd of Hereford cattle, the crabgrass grazing plot and johnsongrass control plot. A discussion was led by Ty McGuire, Vitaferm, regarding the importance of providing mineral for cattle and what options were on the market to combat issues like fly control and fescue toxicity.
