Forage Production

Farming is a lot like football. The players must be aggressive to score, but we play smart defense. Always setting goals and creating a game plan to meet those goals is a common denominator.

One factor to consider when determining the price dairy farmers should pay for a forage is the ability of the forage to support milk production.

There is a lot of debate on whether carbon sequestered in the land should be considered real or personal property.

You may wonder what a day in the life of an on-farm forage specialist looks like, so I’m here to share my story. The late founder of Alltech, Dr. Pearse Lyons, always said everyone is in sales, and that is very true.

With current market incentives to increase crop yields and doing whatever it takes to boost those yields, building soil organic matter can sometimes takes a backseat on farms.

Modern farm equipment has evolved as a response to farmers’ desires for increased crop yields, greater productivity and lower operating costs. With the advanced capabilities of today’s machines comes greater requirements for new solutions for customer support and innovative ways to diagnose a problem so repairs can be completed quickly and accurately.
