With the potentially high costs of fertilizer application, accurately diagnosing and addressing sulfur deficiencies is critical for profitable crop production.

Perennial forages improve soil structure, reduce compaction and help leach salts from the root zone. For producers committed to stewardship, perennials are more than cover – they’re a strategy for resilience.

Fertilizer prices have eased since the 2022 spike, but for most farmers, they still feel painfully high.

Growers and community leaders, along with generations of the Simplot family and Gov. Brad Little, attended the event.

Fescue toxicosis is commonly seen in cattle grazing endophyte-infected tall fescue. Despite the risk, tall fescue remains widely used across many regions because of its ease of establishment and long-term persistence.

Decades of genetic innovation meet farmer- and rancher-tested flexibility in alfalfa systems built for yield, quality and climate resilience.

Crinkled leaves and discolored tops signal boron is missing and forage quality is decreasing. Boosting leaf growth with this micronutrient can mean higher feed value and healthier roots.

As early-lactation dairy cows demand increasingly digestible forages, producers continue to challenge the limits of nutrient delivery. New data and decades of USDA-ARS research confirm that digestibility is key to unlocking forage value.

In recent years, producers across the Midwest have increasingly turned to sorghum as a flexible forage option. However, careful management is required to avoid maladies such as prussic acid poisoning.

Better quality feed equals more milk.
