🌱☀️ June Forage Guide*☀️🌱

June is a busy month for pasture and forage management! Now is the time to establish warm-season forages, control troublesome weeds, and make the most of your grazing acres.

✅ Plant: Browntop millet, foxtail millet, pearl millet, sorghum-sudangrass, bermudagrass, Old World bluestem, and dallisgrass.

✅ Spray: Target summer annual weeds, perennial broadleaf weeds, and brush species while they are actively growing.

✅ Harvest & Graze: Many warm-season forages are ready to provide quality forage for livestock this month.

Healthy forage starts with timely management. A little planning in June can pay off with productive pastures all season long!
