As we kickoff 2023, I hope we aren’t starting to see a pattern. 2022 saw early summer drought and record cold to finish it off. Now in 2023 we are having significant rainfall and record warmth just a few days later. These extreme weather events have been playing havoc on our crops, livestock, and most significantly, our forages. For many of us, this may now be a good time to improve some of our hay and pasture fields that have suffered. One of the easiest and impactful things we can do is to incorporate clovers into our grass fields for many reasons. One of the best times to incorporate these clovers into your system is here in late January or February. As we progress through the year, I will try to highlight what will be crucial during that time in order to get you a productive forage stand. All in all, let's hope that 2023 will be a profitable and prosperous one for all of you!
