As we continue engineering and development efforts on the Kentucky Alfalfa management project with our joint collaboration between the University of Kentucky, we’re nearing some project milestones and continuously adding innovative ways to improve your forage and farm management to the backlog.

To learn more about the collaboration, progress, and the future of the project, Dr. Ray Smith, Extension Professor with the University of Kentucky will be presenting at the Alfalfa & Stored Forages Conference.
The 2020 Alfalfa & Stored Forages Conference by the University of Kentucky will be held on February 20th in Elizabethtown, KY. View more information, or register for the conference on the UK Extension Forages website or on Eventbrite.
