	Forages
		The forage industry is the major agricultural enterprise in Pennsylvania and in the northeastern United States.
		Forage crops constitute the major feed component in the diet of these animals, making forages the backbone of Pennsylvania's agriculture and rural economy.
		Forages are environmentally friendly in that they can reduce soil erosion, pesticide usage, and fertilizer application.

	Ohio Agronomy Guide, Forage Production
		Forage stands can be established with many different types of drills and seeders, provided they are adjusted to plant seed at an accurate depth and in firm contact with the soil.
		Forage sorghums should be planted in rows with row-crop planters to facilitate harvest and minimize lodging.
		Fresh forage is generally higher in cyanide than in silage or hay because cyanide is volatile and dissipates as the forage dries.

	Wisconsin Corn Agronomy
		It is difficult to obtain data for both corn grain and forage yield as usually one or the other is harvested in a field or research plot situation.
		In these studies, forage yield and quality was measured in four of eight rows in the plot.

	Forage management: Production and maintenance
		Perennial forages are key agents in soil conservation and soil improvement.
		Forage species are generally more tolerant of flooding when soil, water and air temperatures are cool.
		A cover crop may be necessary to ensure an adequate ground cover during the first spring runoff, however it may compete with forage seedlings in drought years or in drier regions of the province.

	Testing Livestock Feeds For Beef Cattle, Dairy Cattle, Sheep and Horses, G89-915-A (Revised April 1997) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Forage tests are useful to evaluate production practices like fertilization, time of harvest, method of harvest, etc., that may influence forage quality.
		Forage analyses are most useful when the forage is to be fed to livestock especially sensitive to nutrient level in the forage, such as lactating dairy cows, young growing livestock, and beef cows nursing calves.
		Forages that are drought damaged, hailed, stunted, or harvested before maturity may contain high levels of nitrates.

	Forage management: Production and maintenance
		Because most forage seeds are small they do not contain sufficient food reserves in the seed to support growth from deep within the soil (Forage manual, Alberta Agriculture).
		Forages may be seeded with a wide variety of equipment.
		Weeds compete with forage seedlings for moisture, light and nutrients and should be controlled to promote strong forage establishment.

	Forage Legumes
		Total nonstructural carbohydrates (TNC) in roots at the end of 1986 and 1987 grazing seasons ranged from 256 g kg-1 for Florida 77 to 429 g kg-1 for Travois, suggesting that grazing tolerance may be related to the TNC concentration in roots of alfalfa that had been heavily and continuously grazed.
		The forage was harvested when wheat was in the boot, anthesis, and milk stages of maturity.
		We conclude that the forage quality of wheat-vetch sown with a vetch seeding rate of 162 PLS/m2 was higher than that of wheat-vetch with lower vetch seeding rates.

	Forage : The Farmer's Weblog
		I am interested in securing some long term hay contracts, but don't quite understand the website, as there are no hyperlinks to the producers.
		The value of all hay alone produced in Arizona was $183 million in 2001(according to USDA figures), about twice value as much as cotton, while farmers themselves realize only a minor portion of the value of the produce crop.
		I urge every Arizona forage producer to give this new organization your support with both membership and participation.

	Forage Quality - Minerals
		The mineral content of forages varies and depends primarily on the plant species present in the forage (Table 1).
		The K content of forage usually will meet the needs of the lactating dairy cow as long as the grain supplement is not more than 40-50% of total dry matter intake.
		The forage content of Se and I usually are inadequate in the Northeast.

	Grasslands Watershed Management -- Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Although harvested forages and grain supplements are used, and in drought conditions required, they typically cost 2 to 4 times more than grazed pasture.
		A well managed pasture involves managing forages and livestock in such a way as to reduce runoff, increase nutrient cycling, and soil improvement.
		A dense, thick, uniform sod of grass, or grass and clovers, will provide maximum production of forage and is optimum for controlling soil erosion, both by water and wind.
