Commercially launched over a decade ago, high-oleic soybeans (HOSB) have continued to spark interest as a beneficial ingredient for dairy rations. 

As the school year winds down, 4‑H is preparing for an exciting summer 2026 filled with hands‑on learning, creativity, and personal growth. June launches a season of enriching opportunities, including the annual Foods Revue, Summer Day Camps, dairy judging practices, Area Animal Science Days, and engaging project meetings. Each activity helps youth build practical skills and confidence while learning valuable life lessons.

Manure is a valuable resource, and you can gain significant value by investing in testing your manure nutrient value, making it more cost-efficient to provide your crops with the nutrients they need.

The Annual Twilight Meeting will be held Wednesday, June 17 from 6-8pm at Forest Ridge Holsteins, W2133 Randellen Ln in Eden.

This meeting is open to anyone interested in forages and forage quality, especially growers and dairy farmers looking to improve their operation. The main topic this year will focus on short corn for corn silage, along with practical, real-world management tips you can take home and use—not just research data.
