The 2016 Alfalfa and Forage Field Day at the Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension center was largely a success. A sizable group of producers, PCA's, CCA's, ag consultants, allied industry representatives, private applicators, students, and government representatives joined in a tour of ongoing field trials hosted by the principal UC researchers as well as indoor, classroom-style presentations on a variety of alafalfa and forage related topics presented by several UC Farm Advisors and Specialists. The information presented ranged from pest and weed control to water and manure-nutrient management to salinity and irrigation technology in alfalfa and forage production. California DPR CE credits as well as morning refreshments and lunch were gracefully sponsored by BASF and Bayer Crop Science.
