STARKVILLE, Miss. -- The Mississippi State University Extension Service is offering its annual Forage Field Day July 17 to interested producers and agricultural agents.

The event will be held from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the forage unit on the Henry H. Leveck Research Farm at MSU. Attendance is free, but registration is required for meal planning.

Topics covered will include fertility, economics, grazing systems, alfalfa production, and weed and insect control. Experts from the MSU Extension Service, the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station and private industry will provide information and answer questions related to forage production.

During the field day, participants will have the opportunity to examine MSU’s forage test plots and production system. Dress appropriately for summer outdoor activities.

The MSU forage unit is at 70 Agronomy Road on the Mississippi State campus at what is commonly called South Farm. Register online at http://bit.ly/2018bulldogforagefieldday or contact Kathy Johnson at 662-325-2701 or [email protected] for more information or to register.
