As comedian Rodney Dangerfield used to say: I don't get no respect! Forgive the double negative, but farmers and supporters of our lowly alfalfa and grass crops seem like they have the same complaint.
The agenda for the annual Kearney Alfalfa and Forage Field Day is set. Where: Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center; 9240 S. Riverbend Ave.
The old saying, Everything's fine until it's not, comes to mind when dealing with some tough to control perennial weeds in alfalfa production during the summertime.
After many years of searching for ways to support research, the fledgling California Alfalfa & Forage Research Foundation has taken modest but important steps towards supporting alfalfa research projects, starting with issues associated with weeds.
Planning for the annual Alfalfa & Forage Field Day at the Kearney Ag Center is underway. We are seeking suggestions for topics to include on the agenda. We want to make sure to meet your need for information on subjects related to all aspects of alfalfa and forage production.
