Predictive Equations for Alfalfa Quality (PEAQ) Stick/Alfalfa Scissors Clip

Predictive Equations for Alfalfa Quality (PEAQ) Stick/Alfalfa Scissors Clip will be conducted by the Outagamie Forage Council again this year, the same way it always has, with the cooperation and support of many individuals.

Samples will be collected on Monday and Thursday, when the crop reaches a height and stage of maturity when it is reasonable to begin sampling with results posted on Tuesday and Friday at https://go.wisc.edu/AlfalfaHarvestAlert or available through voicemail at (920) 832-4769.

Outagamie Forage Council to Monitor Maturity and Quality of Winter Cereal Forages 

As a result of the increase in acreage and the necessity to accurately identify the ideal time to the harvest winter cereal crops to maximize both yield and quality, the Outagamie Forage Council will  collect height and maturity information, and then report lab analysis values for these crops. Results will be posted on this page.
