The NDSU Extension Service is scheduled to host a videoconference on baleage and preservatives March 3. The Tools for a Rainy Day Haymaking: Baleage and Preservatives videoconference is set to run from 1-3 p.m. and be held in three locations.
The locations and people to contact when registering are:
• NDSU Central Grasslands Research Extension Center near Streeter - Fara Brummer, 701-424-3606 or fara.brummer@ndsu.edu
• NDSU Carrington Research Extension Center - Karl Hoppe, 701-652-2951 or karl.hoppe@ndsu.edu
• NDSU North Central Research Extension Center near Minot - John Dhuyvetter, 701-857-7682 or john.dhuyvetter@ndsu.edu
During the videoconference, Dan Undersander, University of Wisconsin Extension forage specialist, will discuss using baleage for creating a high-quality fermented hay product for the beef industry. Baleage is a method that can be used during wet-weather haying, when hay quality often is compromised.
Undersander also will talk about using preservatives, including types, application rates and methods, and cost effectiveness.
The event is free of charge. To register, contact the Research Extension Center where you plan to attend the videoconference.
As a student-focused, land-grant, research university, we serve our citizens.
