Given the extent of the drought this year, all forages should be tested for nitrate content.

Continuing drought conditions will have an impact on forage production.

Start planning now for future needs and changes.

Transported hay and feed are one of the primary methods of dispersal for noxious weeds.

Producers looking for livestock feed can connect with those who have it.

Research indicates that soybean forage should not make up more than 50% of the total diet.

Establishing a winter cereal for grazing next spring will allow producers to delay pasture turnout, giving drought-stressed pastures more time to recover.

Drought and/or excessive moisture can lead to the development of molds, which can produce mycotoxins.

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

Planting a cover crop can enhance soil health while creating feed for late-season grazing or hay and haylage production.
