This workshop is led by regional manager for Southeast AgriSeeds, Paige Smart. We will explore summer annual forage crops as a means of increasing summer productivity while enhancing the nutritional value of pastures. Gain a better understanding of how to combine forages throughout the year to reduce feeding time. We will discuss how increasing the number of grazing days while decreasing the time spent feeding supplements, improves the bottom line of an operation. Livestock nutritional needs are often better met with improved forage varieties than with hay or supplements. We will also compare the growth of many different summer annual forages.

Awesome video!
Like to have heard more about no till, soil regeneration, balancing warm season and cool season in combination or by area, minimizing external inputs, if any, and polyculture optimization.
Is there another plant that serves the same function as fescue to avoid the fungus situation entirely?
Please add subtitle in english
Paige is beautiful, jovial and smart, thanks for the video. Informative and entertaining.
nothing interesting what are u saying.but ur attitude and expiration awesome.

Ive been looking for this kind of info! Thank you!
It's very sad how college now a days want to push students towards what they think is best and not what is best, glad you came back!
Why do we continue to try and make Mother Nature bend to our command? We think we know better but when it comes down to it we need to work in sync with nature and stop trying to modify or do as man thinks is better, sometimes it’s not what mans thinks is best it’s really about money if you don’t change the fungus then there is nothing to sell but change the fungus and market it as a cure all and now you have a product to sell
Great content! I teach high school earth science and am teaching regenerative thinking to my students.
It IS genetically modified, it's just that the zealots like to determine how to designate everything. I have no problem with it being GMO, as long as it's done responsibly, safely and with best nutritional and medicinal results. Nature has genetically modified EVERYTHING since the beginning of time, including US!
She’s… Smart
good cattle forage feed information # to eliminate fescue grass fungi toxin production turn it in to hay dry matter the toxic fungi will be eliminated since fungi needs moisture to grow & cant live in direct sunlight heat during hay making #
Can you recommend a good blend of the forages, to avoid Bloat from the legumes and toxins from the fescue? Like a good percentage of a variety for good but safe diversity?
Informative.God bless you
No Doubt – having learned about regen ag/ranching I cannot do anything else. I'm 67 and I'm a lot more delighted to roll out of bed and out the door than I ever, ever was. Ya-HOOOO!
Well made vid – stillshots added to clarify, sure does help
Endophyte teaches graziers when to put the grazing animals on! Wow
She makes grass sound so good. I want to start munching on some.

What is the disadvantage of endophyte free variety?
Where was this filmed? I wonder how to this information will translate to my desert area.
Great video! I have sent it to others in our company to watch.
Very impressed with her knowledge, enthusiasm for the issue, and she is a good engaging speaker, too. – new subscriber here.
Thank you, took plenty of notes
has there been any work done with comfrey as a forage? thanks for the tips
Great content! But plants don’t ‘want’ anything, nor are they ‘afraid’ or ‘scared’ of grazing. When you submit to anthropomorphism in plants you negatively impact the grazing professions. Sheep ‘want’ grass, clover and fresh hay.. Sheep are, in fact, ‘scared’ of dogs, tractors and predators. But you rarely, if ever, see a plant jump up and run away from sheep as they come to graze.
Thanks for a great video and information. I’m studying up to frost sow my pasture for the next year’s grazing…hope i found morbidly unemotional species!
