The University of Kentucky is hosting the 2025 Kentucky Alfalfa and Stored Forage Conference on February 25th.
This event, organized by the Forage Extension Program and the Kentucky Forage and Grassland Council, will focus on the latest research, best practices, and emerging trends in alfalfa and stored forage production.
Themed "Alfalfa Updates and Producing Grass Hay for Premium Markets," the conference will cover a range of topics, including armyworm control, new alfalfa varieties, hay quality for horse owners, updates on hay contests, and emerging markets for unique forage species.
A producer panel will also discuss strategies for improving hay production and increasing farm profitability.
“We look forward to welcoming alfalfa and hay producers from across the Commonwealth,” said Ray Smith, forage and extension specialist. “There’s no better time to brush up on the latest results from variety trials, marketing and pest management than before growing season starts.”
Registration for the conference is $45 and closes on February 24th. Participants can register online at https://KYAlfalfa2025.eventbrite.com or by mailing a check payable to KFGC to Krista Lea at N222 Agriculture North, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40546-0091.
