Advice for Alfalfa and Grass Haylage Management

Alfalfa and grass haylages not only provide beef and dairy cows with a steady supply of protein, but they also can be a cost-saving for producers. PROVITA SUPPLEMENTS Forage Specialist, Caitlin Mellinger spoke with National Association of Farm Broadcasters (NAFB) to discuss the benefits of these haylages and share tips on harvest hygiene.
