Field Day Highlights Forage Problems In Wisconsin Trials
Problems at the Third Annual Western Wisconsin Forage Council Field Day included leafhoppers infesting alfalfa trials and a nutsedge invasion in another plot. Host Arlen Burke faced equipment timing issues for spraying, while extension experts urged routine monitoring and specific chemical controls. A late herbicide spray mishap caused atrazine carryover in oatlage trials, prompting Burke to adjust rotation plans and tillage methods.

Forage Field Day Discusses Weed Control and Manure Use
Tenpas and Craig Simpson outline how rapid incorporation of herbicides aids weed control and how drainage pH and fertility raise forage yields by up to 160 per acre. They urge restarting thin stands with N P K and note manure can supply substantial N P K in a two year corn and forage rotation, if properly managed and applied.
