This
year's Forage Day is sponsored by the Purdue
Cooperative Extension Service and the Indiana
Forage Council. Forage Day combines educational
workshops with equipment demonstrations.
Presentations cover various topics in the
production, utilization and marketing of
forages. Forage Day is the only annual event
in the state where one can see a live demonstration
of harvesting equipment.
 
- Educational topics
- Equipment demonstrations
- Network with people of common interest
- Trade Show
- Hay quality contest
To participation the contest, bring 1 unbroken bale of hay as your entry. A certificate will be awarded by the Indiana Forage Council and forage-related products will be provided by agribusinesses to the winner of each division (grass, legume, and mixed). Awards will be announced within 2 weeks following the Forage Day. No fee will be assessed for contest samples.
"The
goal [of Forage Day] is to inform farmers on
how to produce and utilize forages...It also
gives
farmers the opportunity to interact with producers
of like interest, agribusiness personnel and
university
personnel."
"Seeing
the different pieces of equipment perform side
by side is especially helpful. I've always felt
that if someone has a need to purchase equipment,
the demonstrations would help him or her make
a more
informed decision"
