Quality of Forage Stockpiled in Wisconsin [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 2002 Stockpiling forage is a commonly used method to extend the grazing season in the southern U.S.A. However, there is little data on stockpiled forage in the upper Midwest. This study was conducted to determine the quality changes of 7 stockpiled cool-season grasses [early and late maturing orchardgrass, Dactylis glomerata L., quackgrass, Elytrigia repens
