James Rogers compares North Dakota's agriculture industry to the one of The Sunshine State.

James Rogers offers considerations for preparing perennial forage plants for winter survival and spring growth.

Don’t overlook the value that forages can contribute to your feeding program.

Opportunities and resources are available to help producers get through this dry season.

Look back on past grazing management to anticipate how it can affect 2026 forage production.

High hay prices mean producers need to improve yields and reduce waste.

Allow at least a week for plants to reduce nitrate accumulation before grazing or haying.

Good-quality forages are the foundation of the dairy feeding program.

Producers can plant forage mixes for grazing that increase the soil’s water-holding capacity and add nitrogen to the soil.

Knowing the predominant grass species on a livestock operation is important for ranchers because not all grass is created equally.
