The day’s program will stress small grain management and research as well as forage production. Tours will end at 4:00 p.m. “The particular forage species to select is influenced by many things,” Stringer commented. “For example, there are several legume species available to Pennsylvania farmers, such as alfalfa and birdsfoot trefoil, and the first factor to consider when deciding between two legumes is sa facsimile. Over 1,823 prizes will be distributed nationally including American Express Vacation trips, and Chevrolet Celebrity Station Wagons. Publicity for the sweepstakes will consist of national television, soil suitability or drainage,” he added. This and other factors relating to species selection will be discussed during the program. Proper fertility management, including manure, is a vital part of a successful forage management program. Good fertility programs will result in high yields, but equally important fertility helps with stress resistance, and the management of good forage mixtures. These factors will be highlighted June 19.
