ORANGE CITY, Iowa The Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Dairy Team monthly webinar series continues from noon to 1 p.m. April 21.
ISU Extension Field Agronomist Joel DeJong will present an outlook for the 2021 alfalfa crop. He will review stand evaluation, fertilizer and pest threats, as well as discuss how to use Predictive Equations of Alfalfa Quality (PEAQ) to determine when to harvest the highest quality forage.
“Dairy producers, and all livestock producers really, rely on quality forage to help their herds maximize profits,” said Fred Hall, ISU Extension dairy specialist. “That is why we encourage producers, dairy consultants and related industry reps to attend this webinar.”
