The module will highlight forage storage including bunk fill management, packing techniques, management of forage while in storage, managing inventories, nutrition and its importance in dairy cow rotation, factors affecting palatability and digestibility, trends occurring in forage feeding, and profitability. The on-farm visit is usually every attendee's favorite session. The hands-on application of classroom materials provides great experiences. This on-farm field day will teach scouting techniques, educate on forage samples (measuring TMRs with shaker boxes, discuss reading and interpreting forage tests, as well as measure forage dry matter). The class will also take soil samples, read soil tests and interpret their results, discussing how levels correspond to different forages.
