Northern New York — Cornell University research has shown that tall fescue silage used in a well-balanced dairy ration can produce as much milk per cow as alfalfa silage. With northern New York cropland suited to the production of the cool-season grass, the Northern New York Agricultural Development Program (NNYADP) has funded a 40-variety trial – the most comprehensive tall fescue variety trial in the U.S.
The results of the latest NNYADP tall fescue variety trials evaluated by Cornell Crop and Soil Sciences Professor Jerry H. Cherney – are now available at www.nnyagdev.org.
