Extension agent does th e math for the value of organic fertilizers.

Grazing columnist Mark Landefeld writes from personal experience: Getting started is the hardest part.

Kura establishment has been characterized this way: "First year it sleeps, second year it creeps, third year it leaps."

Developing and managing what you have is often more cost effective than trying to completely renovate a pasture or grazing system.

Knox County Extension Agent Jeff McCutcheon finds the biggest problem in pastures is not the plant, but the plant-er.

Deciding on which species of new forage seedings to plant this spring can be difficult because it is influenced by many factors.

Does breeding make a difference when it comes to grazing dairy cattle? At least one researcher says, yes, as Wayne County Dairy Agent Tom Noyes reports in this week's "All About Grazing" column.

With this being a unique and challenging year for grazing management, producers need to seriously look at their quantity and quality of stored feed.

With the break in the weather, life is good again for graziers, but the question still persists: What could I be doing now to ensure I will have enough feed for winter? The answer may be in the corn field.

This year's dry weather has put every dairy or beef farmer in a similar predicament, and most livestock producers are faced with tight, if not outright insufficient forages to feed during the winter period.
