Last year’s fermentation clues can make this year’s silage more predictable and more productive.

Harvest timing in small grains isn’t just a detail – it’s the difference between profit and loss. New University of Idaho research shows how barley and oats stack up when cut at boot, heading/milk or soft-dough stage.

Moisture matters – and so does method. Baleage is changing the game for forage harvest.

Mowing isn’t just mechanical – it’s strategic. And timing can make or break your feed value, animal performance and bottom line.

There’s only one surefire way to know what hay weighs: Put it on a scale. However, most buyers and sellers don’t have a scale big enough or handy enough to weigh bales.

Corn silage has a risk from multiple mycotoxins, with type B trichothecenes being the greatest risk. Stored corn grains may be at greater risk due to damaged kernels and a higher percentage of foreign matter.

As spring approaches, the planning and decisions that affect feed quality should begin now.

For decades, the agricultural industry has been at the forefront of innovation, continually adapting to meet global demands and environmental challenges.

Maximizing homegrown forages is appealing to many dairy producers, especially as they face tough market conditions.

The growing season has a large impact on our corn silage, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have options to manage the variables.
