"Making the Most of Wheat Stubble"
Michigan State University Extension- Mid-MI Grazing Group
Mason, MI

Based on what you see out your window, you might be surprised that we are scheduling one final Mid-Michigan Grazing Group meeting for November 12! The topic: "Making the Most of Wheat Stubble."

We will be touring some large replicated plots where twenty species/combinations of cover crops have been established in wheat stubble. Some of these species include: annual ryegrass, crimson clover, oats, fall rye, fall triticale, spring triticale, chickling vetch, forage turnips, radish, Canadian field peas (spring peas), and Austrian winter peas. At this meeting, we will tour the plots and discuss establishment, management, and how these species can serve as cover crops and/or serve as excellent quality late-season pasture on acreage that otherwise would be idle from mid-July through April.

Location: 1/4 mile east of the intersection of Plains Road and Tuttle Road in Mason, MI:
