Advertorial The University ofWisconsin nowevaluates forages usingMilk/Acre. The Department of Dairy Science & Agronomy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has developed a program that evaluates forage production in terms of milk/acre. The only recognized program of its kind, it allows farmers to assess a forage based on quality (R.F.V.)and yield ftons/acre). In determining milk/acre, the program assumesa cow weight 1,350 lbs. in mid-lactation stage produc ing 70 lbs. of milk/day. Information from a forage analysis is used to For more information about the program and how calculate relative feed value (R.F.V.). Then usingyield/ to apply it your dairy operation, call Hoffman Seeds acre, R.F.V. and the above assumptions, a calculation at 1-800-776-7929. is made for milk/acre.

V. 0f122at5.0 tons of dry matter, which produces 8,365 lbs. ofmilk/acre. The higher the R.F.V. at an equivalent yield, the higher the milk/acre—and the greater the forage quality. By the same token, the higher the yield at ah equivalent R.F.V., the higher the milk/acre.
