Resources for Forage Management in a Drought Situation
|
|
Much of the state has experienced below normal precipitation with varying levels of drought conditions affecting large areas.
As corn harvest approaches it is necessary to obtain strong estimates of your farm's forage situation for the coming year. A number of resources are available to aid you in assessing forage inventories, evaluating alternative feed sources and making decisions regarding whole farm management in the face of forage shortages.
Regardless of how extreme the situation is for your farm, a number of best management practices can help your business be more resilient to economic and weather volatility.
Resources for Forage Management in a Drought Situation outlines many considerations related to forage management and provides a list of more detailed information on many related topics. Your local Cornell Cooperative Extension office is also a valuable resource.
