A forage meeting from the University of Missouri Extension will be held Thursday, August 3, at the Nodaway County Administration Building in Maryville, Missouri, starting at 1:00 p.m. Spring forage production has been less than half and this meeting is designed to help producers manage their livestock when forage supplies are limited.

Topics include feeding options and costs, pasture recovery and reseeding, herd management, cover crops for forage, harvesting, improving and storing forage, forage economics and making good corn silage. Regional Extension field specialists will be presenting various topics. The meeting is free.
