Wheaton Department of Agronomy Avoid forage seeding failures by using research-proven procedures. Seeding failures are costly, not only in seed and labor cost, but in providing inadequate feed the following year. Adequate moisture, temperature, plant nutrients, air and light are necessary for plant growth. These may be affected by time of seeding, seedbed preparation, seed quality, analysis and amounts of fertilizer, fertilizer placement, and manipulation of competing species such as weeds and/or companion crops. Time of seeding The most successful seedings are made during or just prior to periods of cool, moist weather. Most forages may be seeded in the early spring, late summer (Aug. 15 to Sept. 15), or mid-winter. Sow annual lespedeza and sweet clover only in mid-winter or early spring. Birdsfoot trefoil is usually spring seeded, but under optimum moisture conditions may be fall seeded before Aug. 31. Orchardgrass should not be fall sown except in the southern half of the state. Do not no-till seed alfalfa in the fall in south Missouri, due to potential stand loss caused by sclerotinia crown rot.

Know Your Forages AS-991 , March 1990 Deanne Morse , Extension Dairy Specialist Kevin Sedivec , Extension Rangeland Management Specialist Animal consumption of hay or silage depends on many things. One major determinant of forage intake is its quality. The nutrient composition of a forage helps to explain expected animal performance. Determining the chemical composition of forages is important. The amount of each nutrient in a forage, energy, protein, and mineral composition, needs to be determined before a diet can be balanced. Fiber content enables a nutritionist to estimate feed intake, digestibility of feed, energy content, and expected animal performance. The most frequently asked questions regarding forage analysis include: Why should I have my forage analyzed? What components of the forage do I need to know? How do I get a representative sample of my forage? What is NIR and how does it differ from wet chemistry? Where can I get my forages evaluated? What recommendations exist for use of forage analysis results? Why have forages analyzed?

High nitrate has been reported in cereal grains (oats, rye, wheat, barley, triticale, etc.),bromegrass, orchardgrass, fescue, sorghum, sudangrass, millet, corn, sweetclover and alfalfa. Several weeds, such as kochia, lambs-quarter, pigweed, quackgrass and Russian thistle, can also have high nitrate levels, especially when growing under adverse conditions. Nitrate poisoning of livestock was reported as early as 1895. Livestock losses occurred for many years before elevated nitrate levels in forage were determined to be the cause of death. The term "oat hay poisoning" was the common explanation for livestock losses in the 1930s, because large acreages of oats were harvested for forage during drought years. Nitrate toxicity Nitrate itself is not toxic to animals, but at elevated levels, it can cause a noninfectious disease called

North Dakota State University Dickinson Research Extension Center Don't Forget Annual Forages June 1997 Roger Ashley Area Extension Specialist/Cropping Systems After going through one of the toughest winters in recent memory, hay supplies are depleted and ranchers will be interested in rebuilding hay stocks this summer. An option that ranchers should not overlook in rebuilding hay stocks is the use of annual forages. Annual forages are often overlooked or are planted as an afterthought by producers with only a brief review of tonnage produced or potential forage quality. Both warm and cool season forages have a place on the ranch and producers will need to grow the forage that fits their operation. Producers once worried about how the government farm program would affect their planting decisions when it came to seeding alternative crops but now with the FAIR Act, producers should be concerned with quality as well as tonnage. Interpreting all of the information provided in a quality and yield analysis can be difficult for producers. What most producers understand is the gross dollar value of forage produced from an acre of land. Tables 1-3 include a relative dollar value of feed produced per acre ($/A) column which combines both yield and quality factors. These values were calculated using equations that values total digestible nutrients, crude protein, and neutral detergent fiber found in $65 a ton mid bloom alfalfa hay, $18 per ton corn silage, and $30 per ton lower quality grass hay. If the livestock producer normally uses one or several of the feeds used as a basis for the cost comparison, the value of the annual forage produced per acre to the cattleman should be that listed in the table. Dollar value will fluctuate during the year and from year to year but the relationship between feeds will remain fairly constant.

Grass is especially important, as it is the back bone of every guinea pig's diet. In most cases, the grass your pet eats will be dried (hay) or pelleted (Cavy Cuisine) but fresh grass can be even more valuable, as it also provides vitamin C. Serve your pig some forages today! Foraged foods can add interest to the typical cavy diet and provide vitamin C, minerals and nutrients.

Forage Agronomy Program Mission Grazing lands are natural or planted pastures that provide an important source of nutrients for ruminants. Grasslands are environmental friendly and contribute to economic development and social wealth through their milk and meat products. In the semi-arid environments of the Virgin Islands, seasonal fluctuation of dry matter production and nutritive value of tropical forages affect animal animal performance. With increasing emphasis being placed on sustainable low-input forage systems today, legume based pastures will become more important. The mission of the forage agronomy program is the development of grass-legume based livestock production systems that results in the greatest economic benefits through production of milk and meat products while managing our grazing lands in an ecologically sustainable manner. OBJECTIVES Evaluate tropical grasses and legumes for adaptation, persistence, yield, and nutritive value. Assess mob-grazing effects on yield and persistence of forage type and grass-legume combinations. Examine grazing management effects on yield and persistence of forage type and grass-legume combinations.

PESTS OF FORAGES AND PASTURE Extracted from INSECT and related PESTS of FIELD CROPS (AG-271) Dated 5/82 Placed on the Web 7/96 by the Center for Integrated Pest Management, NCSU Based on 1980 estimates, North Carolina forages and pastures comprise a total of over 900,000 hectares (about 2,222,000 acres). This acreage includes not only improved and unimproved pasture but also legume and grass hay crops. Since many different kinds of plants fall into the category of forages, it is not surprising that the insect pests attacking these crops are just as numerous and varied. Several hundred species are associated with alfalfa alone. Fortunately, only a few of these are economically important. The alfalfa weevil remains the primary pest problem of alfalfa, while white grubs are the corresponding threat to grass forages. Although the number of serious pests is few, their chemical control poses the problem of insecticide residues. Key to Pests of Forages and Pasture A. Chewing insects that feed above ground Caterpillars - All moth larvae described in this section have three pairs of legs near the head and five pairs of prolegs.
