骋谤补蝉蝉尘补蝉迟别谤’蝉

The GrassMasters program is a 7-week long series of educational workshops that focus on forage production. Workshops will be held virtually every Monday beginning November 2nd. This program is an INTRODUCTION to forage production systems and is highly recommended for new producers.

Weekly video release on forage management

Agents and producers are welcome to join in each Thursday night at 7:00 on the Georgia Forages Facebook page to see the premiere of a new video on forage management. The videos are short (5-10 minutes each) and cover hot topics, research updates, and popular demos from our field days. Follow Georgia Forages on facebook and watch/search for the watch party post in your news feed each week just before 7:00 pm.

New Georgia Forages YouTube Page

We have a variety of short videos (previously posted on Facebook) on hot topics in forage management. New videos will be added weekly after the watch party. Subscribe to the channel to receive notifications when new videos are posted.

Stay tuned for more exciting events this fall! We are currently working Corteva to plan a virtual pasture weeds field day and Kubota for (possibly) an in-person hay demo event.

    Posted by Kylee Duberstein on Aug 21, 2025
