Improving Penn State Forage Testing Service for farmers
Submitting samples to the Penn State Forage Testing Service at The Pennsylvania State University during the forage making season could improve service to farmers statewide. About 55 percent of samples are processed in November and December, overtaxing lab and computer operations. Hay samples may be taken when safe to store. ensiled forage can be sampled before ensiling if moisture is low enough to prevent seepage. If seepage occurs, sample during feed-out. First cut samples separately from later cuttings for accurate feed programming and earlier season testing to speed summer and barn feeding programs.
