Virtual Forage Field Day
Author: Samuel Smith
Planning Unit: Plant and Soil Sciences
Major Program: Forages
Outcome: Initial Outcome
On June 12 UK Forage Specialist held a Virtual Forage Field Day on Choosing the Best Forage Variety. The virtual part was due to Covid-19, but it included a video tour of the UK Forage Variety Test plots managed by Gene Olson. We showed the performance of varieties of tall fescue, orchardgrass, red and white clover, alfalfa and many other forage species. The field day included presentations by UK specialists on how to choose the best varieties for your farm and your individual hay fields and pastures. We filmed in the field day in conjunction with Dave Stalion from Ag. Communication. The field was a joint effort between the Kentucky Forage and Grassland Council and UK and will soon be available on the UK Forages YouTube Channel.
