Forages

Author: Patrick Hardesty

Planning Unit: Taylor County CES

Major Program: Forages

Plan of Work: Management and Marketing

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

As a follow-up to the Hayfield Walk in the fall of 2024, a Pasture and Hayfield Management Meeting was developed in conjunction with the Taylor County Cattlemen’s Association.

With approximately 100 in attendance, forage producers learned how to control weeds by cultural, mechanical and chemical methods.

New herbicides were highlighted at this meeting.  Following the meeting, over one pallet of new herbicide that doesn’t kill clover was ordered.

Producers are understanding the importance of controlling weeds in hay and pastures to enhance forage productivity.
