  1. Making Baleage as a Stored Forage Production Option
    Making Good Quality Baleage

    Ohio State University Extension Ag and Natural Resources Educator Lee Beers hosted a webinar presentation with Ag and Natural Resources Educator Rory Lewandowski, focused on Making Baleage as a Stored Forage Production Option. The spring weather challenges experienced over the past few years has many Ohio forage producers looking for options that allow a more timely harvest of high quality forages, especially when it comes to first cutting. Baleage is an excellent option, but it requires careful attention to detail to end up with quality stored feed.
