National Forage Week runs from June 21-27, 2020. It is a great opportunity to recognize the importance of forages in the daily lives of Americans and say thank you to our forage producers across the nation.
The complexity of forage management requires producers to have vast knowledge of plant and animal sciences. It is more complicated than just growing and mowing grass. To be a successful forage grower you must have knowledge about soil health, botany, nutrition, zoology, climatology, machinery, and finances too.
