Forage Stand Analysis
Author: Keenan Bishop
Planning Unit: Franklin County CES
Major Program: Forages
Plan of Work: Increase best practices for urban ag, nat res, & local food systems
Outcome: Initial Outcome
A local producer with good management practices was concerned about a decline in forage on certain pastures despite rotational grazing and annual soil testing and amendments. This cooperator was also our Farm City Field Day Host.
We enlisted the help of Dr. Jimmy Henning who asked Krista Lea to assist. With the help of our summer intern, Alex Brodie, and Morehead freshman, Conner Dailey, we developed a plan to asses the different fields and try and determine what was occurring. Krista trained Ms. Brodie and Mr. Dailey to identify the forages and weeds and do stand counts. This was repeated over the summer in areas protected from grazing.
Their results were presented at the 59 Farm City Field day
