Managing forages is easy. If farmers have never planted<br />

forages before they may need advice about the specific<br />

requirements of different varieties. The following<br />

management principles will help farmers to improve<br />

forage quality and yield,<br />

forage persistence, and<br />

animal production.<br />

How often should we cut forages?<br />

The decision on how often to cut forages is not based<br />

simply on yield and feed quality. It also depends on the<br />

needs of the farmer at that time, which may be more<br />

important than any other considerations.
