This in-person event will take place on April 12, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Penn State Extension Wayne County office in Honesdale, Pennsylvania.
Participants will gain valuable insights into best management practices for producing high-quality fermented forage.
The workshop will cover essential topics such as planting, fertility, harvesting, and storage techniques, all of which contribute to optimizing forage nutrition for livestock.
The discussion will also highlight strategies for ensiling grass, legumes, and winter annual forage crops to maximize their feed value.
One of the key aspects of this session will be understanding forage quality testing benchmarks and how they influence feeding decisions.
Attendees will also learn about the fermentation process and techniques to minimize dry matter losses, ensuring more efficient forage utilization.
