Forage field day covers a lot of ground

摘要

By lunch time on June 28, event-organizer Nadine Simpson was happy to see about 60 farmers attending the Kings County Soils and Crops Association annual forage field day in New Brunswick. "It is always a gamble scheduling this field day, because you never know what the weather will bring and you never know how far advanced farmers are with their own forage harvesting and if they can afford a day away," Simpson said. "It was especially concerning that the field day was beautiful and the forecast for the following day was for rain, so anyone with hay on the ground was focused on getting it done up."
