 Hello, I'm Scott Ulm, I'm the Operations Manager and Forge Specialist at Central Grasslands in Streeter. Here today we are standing at the Wishick Tri-County Agronomy Plots and here we have our Forge Plot that we put in this year. Full background, many livestock producers in North Dakota rely on annual forages as feed to overwinter their livestock. There are many options when considering annual forages and some of the forages that you can consider are warm seasons such as millet, sedan grass, sorghum sedan grass and then you also have your cool seasons such as oats, barley and triticale. What these annual cereals do is they add a supplement to a producers perennial forages such as alfalfa and grass hay. In 2019 we started this study to look at three main things that we are interested in, one being production, your yield, number two being your quality in each of these and number three how cost effective each one is under different conditions. In 2019 we were very fortunate we had 133 percent normal moisture which was great. This year unfortunately we have about 58 percent normal moisture so much lower than we would like. In 2019 on average the triticale varieties and the Goliath Oat variety were superior for crude protein. However the forage barleys contained the lowest lignin content, generally speaking that means the higher the lignin content the lower the palability. All forage varieties were similar in digestible nutrients that year. Also in 2019 the most economical forages based on seed cost were the forage oats and the Merlin Max spring triticale. In 2020 the most economical forages based on seed cost were the Mustang M120 oats and the Hayes forage barley. In summary the overall goal was to collect data that will allow livestock producers to make the most informed decision in what annual forage is right for them in their operation. Whether the producer is primarily concerned with forage quality or a higher yields that they can mix with other higher quality forages there's something here that can fit anyone's need. Thank you.
