FG Poll: Forage acres

In the last FG Poll, we asked readers: "Will the total number of forage acres on your operation increase, decrease or stay the same in 2013?"

A slim majority, 47.3 percent, said their forage acres would stay the same in 2013.

Encouragingly, that was closely followed, at 43 percent, by the response that forage acres would increase.

Only 9.7 percent said forage acres would decrease 2013.

Our next poll asks: Are you concerned about difficult weather conditions in your area in the coming months?

Vote for one of the following: Yes, temperature; Yes, precipitation; Yes, both temperature and precipitation; No, no concerns.  FG
