Performance of Small Grain Forage Varieties in Alabama, 2022-2023

By Henry Jordan 

 

February 22 –  Yields are available for the second harvest of wheat, triticale, oats, and rye at the Wiregrass Research and Extension Center (WREC) in Headland.  Early season yields (harvest 1 + 2) are available for the wheat, triticale, oats, and rye at the WREC.  Additional harvests may effect early season totals moving forward.

February 20 – Yields are available for the first harvest of wheat and rye at the Chilton Research and Extension Center (CREC) in Clanton.

During the latter part of December 2022, Alabama experienced a severe cold snap.  Low temperatures remained in the teens for several days.  As a result, forage species exhibited varying amounts of cold damage.  Due to the significant amount of damage and lack of regrowth, the oat and triticale trials at CREC were not harvested for yield.

January 27 – Yields are available for the first harvest of wheat, triticale, rye, and oats at the Wiregrass Research and Extension Center (WREC) in Headland.

In this webinar, you'll hear from two AAFC researchers, Craig Drury and David Pelster, examining and developing various 4R nutrient management strategies, including inhibitors and incorporation, through agronomic field trials and GHG measurements. The goal of this research is to enhance nitrogen use efficiency and productivity while mitigating the environmental impact of corn production in Ontario.

Living Lab – Ontario is a five-year innovation project that brings together farmers, organizations, researchers, and other experts to co-develop, test, and evaluate beneficial management practices (BMPs) that address climate change challenges in livestock and cropping.
