Don’t throw your money away by buying forage seed for varieties that are not
right for your pasture/hay production system. Join us Wednesday, May 6, 2009
from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at MSU’s Agronomy Farm, as we examine experimental plots
of: alfalfa, potato-leafhopper resistant alfalfa, falcate alfalfa, perennial
ryegrass, orchardgrass, tall fescue, smooth brome, timothy, meadow brome,
and festulolium varieties. The cost is $10.00 per person, and $5 for
additional family members.  A light dinner will be served, therefore
pre-registration is requested. To register: call (517) 676-7207 or email
