State Forage Field Day June 14 at Sheridan UW Research Center

Forage production and management, and tools to help alfalfa and forage growers produce the best possible yield and quality are part of the Wyoming Forage Field Day Tuesday, June 14, at Sheridan.

The fifth annual event is 8 a.m.-4 p.m. at the Sheridan Research and Extension Center (ShREC) at Sheridan College. Registration, encouraged by June 3 to ensure a free lunch, is free and open to the public.

University of Wyoming Extension forage specialist Anowar Islam says the event is farmer-focused, “especially for those who want alfalfa and improved forages in their cropping/animal production systems and improve yield, quality and profitability.”

Full program details are at bit.ly/forageday.

There are more than 13 presentations, ranging from 10 to 40 minutes. A panel of producers is in the afternoon, and machinery and equipment demonstrations at the end of the day.

Register by calling ShREC at (307) 673-2856 or by emailing shrec@uwyo.edu, or contact Islam at (307) 766-4151 or mislam@uwyo.edu.
