The American Forage and Grassland Council (AFGC) is excited to celebrate the eighth annual National Forage Week on June 19-25, 2022, as an effort to raise awareness on the importance of forages and grassland agriculture’s role in society.

Entries are being accepted for the World Forage Analysis Superbowl, which is open to all forage producers across North America. The 2022 contest, held in conjunction with World Dairy Expo, is set to award over $26,000 in cash prizes, made possible by generous award sponsors.

“Alfalfa – ice cream in the making,” is a common saying among forage farmers, and if you’ve had ice cream or cheese pizza recently, you may be more involved with alfalfa than you realize.

What does it mean to have good-quality hay? Well, here in the Southeast means you can get some nice prizes and a lot of recognition. That is what the Southeastern Hay Contest (SEHC) has been proudly doing for 17 years, recognizing the effort put by our farmers on producing good-quality hay.

The World Forage Analysis Superbowl evaluated 343 entries and presented awards to top five finishers at the Brevant seeds Forage Superbowl Luncheon during World Dairy Expo.
