FEED & NUTRITION

Combines have been monitoring yield since the mid-90s. Back then, forage yield monitoring was still in development.

Will you have enough forage until next harvest? Drought in the Southwest, late planting, delayed harvest and flooding all contributed to limit current forage supplies across various areas of the country.

Weather conditions in regions throughout North America have placed a great deal of pressure on cattle ranchers and dairy farmers, particularly in regards to the cost and availability of hay this winter.

One of the main goals of a dairy business is to maintain a consistent environment for its cows. Daily routines for the cows should occur at the same time every day, with their physical environment varying as little as possible.

How important is it to know your forage quality?
Forage quality directly affects milk production and, therefore, your bottom line. The higher the quality of your forage, the more forage you can feed, supporting higher milk production and eliminating the need to purchase supplemental fiber.

Livestock producers need a high-protein summer forage.

Forage soybeans fit well in a production system following small grains or early planted corn.
