Forage Moisture when Harvesting in Cooler Weather

By Emma Matcham

This spring has brought an unusual combination of weather conditions, since we have been 5-10 degrees warmer than usual throughout April but are expecting cool weather at the start of May. We’ve also had the somewhat typical Ohio pattern of either no rain or two much rain depending on where you farm.

Different forages will respond to temperatures differently.
