Farmers, ranchers invited to compete in forage quality contest

CASPER – Wyoming farmers and ranchers are invited to enter forage samples in the World Ag Expo Forage Challenge quality contest.

All forage samples must be submitted to the University of California Davis for judging by Dec. 10, 2010. Cost to enter the 2011 World Ag Expo Forage Challenge is $25 per entry. The winner of the contest will be announced Feb. 8, 2011 at the World Ag Expo.

Entries will be judged in three categories: alfalfa hay, standard corn silage and brown mid-rib (BMR) corn silage. Cash prizes will be awarded based on forage lab analyses, along with a visual evaluation of the entries by experts in dairy nutrition and forage production.
