Re-Evaluating the How & Why of Cover Crops, Corn Silage After the BMR Era, and Alfalfa & You: Food, Health, & Beauty are just a few of the many presentations offered at Midwest Forage Association’s (MFA) Tour de Forage held in locations throughout Minnesota on Tuesday through Thursday, January 20-22. Dr. Jo Heuschele, research agronomist at the USDA-ARS St. Paul Plant Science Research Unit, is the keynote speaker.
