LSU AgCenter Announces State Fair Hay Quality Contest

LSU AgCenter Announces State Fair Hay Quality Contest
The LSU AgCenter is proud to announce the 4th annual LSU AgCenter State Fair Hay Quality Contest to be held at the State Fair of Louisiana in Shreveport this October. The Hay Contest was developed to showcase farmers and ranchers in our area that consistently produce quality forages for livestock. This year the contest is being sponsored by the Louisiana Forage and Grasslands Council. Categories in which farmers and ranchers can enter forages include warm-season perennial forages (bahiagrass, bermudagrass, mixed grasses, etc.); winter-annual forages (ryegrass, ryegrass-clover, etc.); miscellaneous legumes (alfalfa, clovers, etc), and baleage. Cash and other prizes will be awarded to the winner of each class. Each class winner will be awarded $100, and the $15 analysis fee will be refunded for the second place entry in each class. Deadline to enter the contest is September 30th.
Forage sampling is an important way for livestock owners to understand the quality of the hay they are feeding their animals. All livestock owners are encouraged to sample their forages to determine quality. For more information on forage sampling, or to enter hay into the LSU AgCenter State Fair Hay Quality Contest, please contact your local LSU AgCenter Cooperative Extension Office.
