Silage quality doesn't play out like a textbook

摘要

Coming out of graduate school over a decade ago, i had sound academic training from the University ofWisconsin-Madison. The university instruction in agronomy, plant breeding and genetics, and animal science and nutrition provided a basic understandingof how seed genetics and agronomic and crop management practices can impact forage quality.But i quickly learned the added letters behind my name meant little, and in reality, I still had much to yet learn. i recognized an experience gap. I needed a few years of experience in the fields and agriculture industry to begin having an impact, starting with building trust and relationships with those i was seeking to help.
