Major Program: Forages
Outcome: Initial Outcome
Gabriel Roberts, a senior technician with Ray Smith in Plant and Soil Sciences, has developed a series of timelapse videos that dramatically show the advantage of good forage management. Many of these videos can be downloaded or played directly from the decision aid section of the UK Forage Website https://forages.ca.uky.edu/decisionaids . We are currently in the process of uploading these outstanding videos to the UKForages YouTube Channel. Although there are many videos, some of the most popular are: 1) The benefits of planting forages at the proper depth; 2) The advantages of rotational vs. continuous grazing; 3) The value of resting some of your pastures overwinter; 4) How management of alfalfa doubles forage production; and 5) What are the most vigorous forages during establishment.
