Saturday, November 9, 2013. Corn Residue: A Resource for Graziers. Rory Lewandowski, Extension Educator Wayne County. For every bushel of corn harvested by the combine, there is between 14 to 16 pounds of corn residue dry matter left in the field. Graziers need to view that residue as a resource opportunity. In recent years, between 3.3 to 3.6 million acres of corn have been harvested for grain in Ohio. The exceptions are livestock in a late gestation or lactation stage of production.

Ohio Forages: Time for First Cutting
http://ohioforages.blogspot.com/2014/05/time-for-first-cutting.html
Monday, May 19, 2014. Time for First Cutting. It is time or almost time for the first cutting of forages, depending on your location in Ohio and your forage quality goals. Orchardgrass was shooting a head in central Ohio last week. The alfalfa stands that were not severely injured by winter are looking great and about ready for first cutting as well across central Ohio.

Friday, October 19, 2012. USING ALFALFA AND GRASS HAYFIELDS AFTER FROST. Some Thoughts and Considerations. Rory Lewandowski, Extension Educator Wayne County and Crossroads EERA. We have had some frost over the past week and one question that comes up is the use of alfalfa and/or grass hayfields following a frost. Management after a frost depends upon several factors. Was there a frost or a killing freeze? Is the hayfield a legume or a grass stand? What are the needs and goals of the hayfield’s owner.
