Forage Managment Calendar

August

• Complete August forage seedings.
• Continue to harvest established forages on a 30 to 35 day schedule.
• Continue scouting for potato leaf hoppers.
• Harvest spring seeded forages approximately 75 days after seeding.
• Inventory harvested forage. If additional forage needs to be purchased consider buying them locally "out of the field". This maybe cheaper than waiting till winter and purchasing them.
• Sample and test hay and silage for forage quality.
• Stop grazing those cool-season forage paddocks that will be stockpiled for grazing in November or December.
