Measuring RFV of Alfalfa

Nutritionist Craig Wagner talks about Relative Feed Value (RFV) and using that information to decide when it's time to start cutting alfalfa.

Our Interactive Alfalfa Map below updates daily with information on how alfalfa is maturing throughout the region.

How to use it:

Use the filters on the left side to change the date range and maturity of the stands whose data you are viewing.

To view how height and maturity have changed over time in a region, right click on the town or county of interest to you and click on “drill through” then “Height over time”.
 
To go back to the map from “Height over time” click on the back arrow in the upper left corner.

Harvest is upon us. Premier Cooperative’s Grain Division is prepared to receive what we hope to be a bountiful crop this year. We have spent a lot of time doing preventative maintenance to ensure quick unload times at each location. This will help ensure limited breakdowns during the busy harvest season.

October 1st marked a milestone in my life. Thirty years ago on that date, I started working for the cooperative. I was 32 years old with a work history that included working as a laborer in a cheese factory, a construction worker building Harvestore silos, an infantryman in the U.S. Army and a salesperson at a competing cooperative. I guess you could say I was well rounded.
