Forage production tips
A productive forage crop requires careful planning . Consider the following , when preparing to plant forages .
Seeding
Timing options
• Early Spring : Excellent moisture and cool temperatures are good for establishment . There is limited opportunity for pre-seeding weed control and frost can be a hazard .
• Late Spring - Early Summer : Moisture conditions may still be good and temperatures warmer . This timing allows for pre-seed weed control .
Fall dormant seeding
• Seeds germinate the following spring when moisture is good and temperatures are cool . Frost damage may occur in spring .
