Area producers should mark July 30 on their calendars and make plans to attend the "Focus on Forages" meeting at the Hundley-Whaley Learning Discovery Center in Albany.
Topics to be covered by MU Regional Extension Specialists include: soil fertility, soil sampling, interpretation of soil test results, hay testing and result interpretation, fescue management, fescue and legume plot tours, review of economic analysis of nitrogen fertilization versus legume over-seeding, and fixed-time artificial insemination of beef cows.
The program starts at 5:30 p.m. and the cost to attend is $10 which includes an evening meal and copies of the presentations. Door prizes to be given away include free soil and forage tests. Producers are asked to RSVP to the Gentry County Extension Office at 660-726-5610 if planning to attend by Friday, July 24, so that accurate meal preparations can be made. Those producers needing special accommodations are also encouraged to call by the July 24 as well.
