This fact sheet authored by PRO-DAIRY forage systems specialist Joe Lawrence was shared in the August 2025 PRO-DAIRY e-Leader newsletter, distributed to an email list of nearly 7,000 dairy producers, agriservice, and legislators.
The challenges of the 2025 growing season continue with questions about adequate quantity and quality of forages to meet the needs of dairy herds in the coming year.
As we look for a strong finish to the growing season to alleviate some of these challenges it is important to assess your forage situation and take steps to meet the forage needs of the herd. The PRO-DAIRY Forage Management webpage has a number of resources that may be useful when working with your farm team to assess your forage situation.
