Producing feedstuff for livestock is important in Scott County because of the large importance of beef cattle to Scott County agriculture. Utilizing forages for feed has always been part of the process. Most commonly cattle will graze forages or forages will be cut, then dried to low moisture, and finally stored for use during months that the forages are not growing. The process of producing high moisture hay, or baleage, has been more popular in the recent years. This high moisture hay does allow a bit more forgiveness in cutting during raining time periods because of there is no need for the forage to be dried to a low moisture. The baleage does carries some risk because the product goes through a fermentation process which under unideal circumstances can create toxins. On March 16^th, the extension agent hosted a program called “What the Best Producers in Kentucky do to Make Good Baleage.” Dr. Jimmy Henning gave the presentation and discussed the importance of cutting forages at the right maturity and moisture, wrapping the bales properly, testing your baleage before feeding, and reading a forage analysis. 21 producers attended the program and were very engaged. At the end of the program the producers were given an evaluation. Of the evaluations returned, 6 producers had not tested baleage before and 7 had tested their baleage before. When asked if they plan to test there baleage for fermentation characteristics and forage quality, 2 answered neutral and 12 answered they would. The  increase of producers willing to test showed their intentions to practice what they just learned. After the program I learned from the local Co-op that they sold all 3 moisture probes in stock following the program. This was proof of the producers implementing the knowledge they had gained.
