Mother Nature has been taking us for a ride this year. Many farmers experienced winter-killed alfalfa followed by heavy spring rains and late-planted corn.

Fortunately, opportunities remain to finish crop-year 2019 strong. Dr. John Goeser will provide practical management tips to rebound from a slow start and navigate a potentially challenging corn-silage season – with future markets and dairy economics in mind.
Owners, nutritionists and veterinarians –
the whole cow-management team – needs to be on the same page to formulate a plan to manage forage inventories. Tune in for strategies to deal with stress – crop and personal – as well as topics regarding haylage and alternative-forage quality and outside-the-box nutrition ideas.
