Working lands, working options: Expanding forage flexibility in the Upper Colorado River Basin

Forage crops in the Upper Colorado River Basin face mounting stress from aridification and shifting runoff. Researchers are measuring consumptive water use with evapotranspiration modeling and sensor networks to guide resilient forage strategies.

Assessing the 2025 growing season while anticipating the 2026 outlook

Weather conditions changed dramatically during the course of the last growing season, with drought easing in some areas while emerging in others. By winter, attention had shifted eastward, where new dryness raised concerns for soil moisture heading into the next growing season.
December 26, 2025
Marian Viney

The 2025 growing season saw drought recede in the west, only to emerge east of the Mississippi, setting up an uncertain 2026 outlook as producers brace for shifting moisture patterns.

Tales of a Hay Hauler: Little parts and big problems

While loading hay in the Idaho heat, a flathead engine failed when its exhaust valve wouldn’t work. With nothing more than a file and determination, the valve stem was shortened enough to restore compression, keeping the conveyor running for several loads.
December 26, 2025
Brad Nelson

With 650 hay bales to load, Leo Ritthauler relied on remote isolation and a hired hand to keep the operation moving.

Unwrapping the bale: Look, smell, flake

A forage test will quantify crude protein, fiber fractions, mineral balance, digestibility and sugar levels – essential benchmarks for ration formulation. Smell, texture, flake integrity, dust and the presence of mold or foreign material are equally decisive, and in a competitive hay market, buyers demand forage that tests well and passes a rigorous sensory check.

Carmen Willmore

Hay test results provide critical insight into forage quality, but numbers alone don’t capture the full picture.

Hay considerations for small ruminants

Sheep and goats have smaller rumens than cattle, limiting intake and increasing dependence on highly digestible forage. They need greater fiber digestibility and energy density, especially in lactation, making hay analysis distinct from cattle standards.
December 22, 2025
Rebecca Kern-Lunbery

Sheep and goats share ruminant anatomy with cattle, but their smaller rumens and distinct grazing behaviors demand higher-quality, more digestible forage to meet energy needs.

Calculators aid forage inventory management

Effective forage management starts with careful planning and the right tools. Universities offer checklists and calculators to guide dairy and cattle producers, while extension specialists and feed company representatives provide practical advice on storage, sampling and shrink calculations.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act – what farmers need to know about tax changes

Signed on July 4, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act reshaped estate rules, taxes, deductions and family credits in one package. Its rollout collided with stalled appropriations, triggering an October shutdown, before a November resolution restored funding and extended the 2018 Farm Bill through 2026.
