Alternative Forage: The challenges and opportunities - June 28, 2024

More than 50% of the water in the Colorado River Basin is used to grow forage (food) for livestock! So forage crops that use less water have the potential to make a big difference for how the West copes with ongoing drought.
In this, the second webinar in our summer water series, we learn about the challenges and opportunities of growing alternative forages from the perspectives of both landowners and scientists. We cover the science, economics, and logistics associated with growing these crops, informed by the results of programs and research and the firsthand accounts from landowners experimenting with these practices.
Whether you're a farmer, rancher or just interested in a water-smart future for the West, you need to know about alternatives to traditional forage crops like alfalfa. Don't miss this opportunity to gain a new understanding of alternative forage and what these practices could mean for you and your operation.
