Hay Contest
Author: Douglas Shepherd
Planning Unit: Hardin County CES
Major Program: Forages
Plan of Work: Integrated Livestock and Forage Systems
Outcome: Initial Outcome
Conducted our first Hay Contest in conjunction with local Cattlemen's Association, as an incentive to get more folks to test their forages. Both ag agents were involved in developing and conducting this program. Some 31 samples were received and entered in the contest. Local ag supply dealers provided prizes to the winners. Dr. Jimmy Henning was involved in setting up the program and actually judging the test results. He was on hand for the awarding of the winners, which was held in conjunction with the feeding calf grading demonstration. During the award presentation he interviewed each of the winners, and had them explain the harvest timing and method used for their winning sample. Gave each winner an opportunity to speak in front of a large group.
