Alfalfa Quality Affected by Cool Weather In Wisconsin
UW Extension agronomist Dwayne Rohweder told about 400 farmers at a summer field day that cool cloudy weather increased alfalfa fiber content while digestibility declined in central Wisconsin. He urged testing to balance rations as solvable carbohydrates were reduced and protein remained steady. Growing degree days show Wisconsin regions at varied levels, with Madison behind normal but some west central and northern areas ahead. Factors influence careful alfalfa variety selection.
