More dairy resources from UW-Madison Division of Extension
The Farmer to Farmer Hay, Forage and Corn List put Wisconsin's farmers in touch with one another for the purpose of buying and/or selling corn and forage.
Trying to find a favorable forage? Team Forage's forage trials compare species and varieties for yield, grazing intake and palatability. Often the variety of forage is as important or more important than the species!
