Annual Forage Production for an Intensive Winter Grazing System

Summary

To address the winter feed needs of mothering cows and reduce off-farm inputs, several forage crop combinations will be tested for their potential to provide winter livestock feed, including field corn, sweet corn, oats, and pearl millet. Cow manure and fixed nitrogen from peas will be incorporated into the fields to reduce the nitrogen requirements for wheat the following year.
