The Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association (MFGA) is once again seeking producers to participate in its Green Gold program.
"We are looking for more alfalfa fields, especially in the Western, Central and Interlake areas of Manitoba," said Dave Koslowsky, MFGA chair. "That will help increase our wingspan across the province and help us to broadcast the best first cut for Manitoba's alfalfa growers as to when the relative feed value (RFV) is optimum for their crops."
The goal of the program, now in its 22nd year, is to broadcast the best first cut for Manitoba's alfalfa growers as to when the relative feed value (RFV) is optimum for their crops. Relative feed values are widely considered the best measurement for declaring the energy values that livestock will receive from the feed.
