About the Magazine

Hay & Forage Grower is the only national publication devoted exclusively to alfalfa and other forage crops. Edited for big-acreage growers, the magazine covers a wide range of forage-related topics, from stand establishment to harvesting and marketing. While the magazine's primary focus is alfalfa, it includes information on all forage crops, whether they're used for hay, silage or rotational grazing. Hay & Forage Grower was launched in 1986 in cooperation with the American Forage & Grassland Council (AFGC). University agronomists and farmer-members of AFGC continue to be important contributors to the magazine's content.
