Kansas summer annual forage hay & silage variety trial final report

In 2019, summer annual forage variety trials were conducted across Kansas near Garden City, Hays, and Scandia. All sites evaluated hay and silage entries. Companies were able to enter varieties into any possible combinations of research sites, so not all sites had all varieties. Across the sites, a total of 95 hay varieties, 99 sorghum silage varieties, and 12 corn silage varieties were evaluated. The full 2019 Kansas Forage Report can be accessed online at https://www.agronomy.k-state.edu/services/crop-performance-tests/
