Austin County Hay Show taking samples
Building on last year’s success, the Austin County Hay Show is back by popular demand. This year’s show will be held in conjunction with the annual fall forage seminar, sponsored by the Beef and Forage Committee of Austin County.
The seminar and show will take place on Friday, Sept. 30 at the Austin County Fairgrounds in Bellville. The seminar is scheduled to begin with registration from 1 to 1:30 p.m. with the program starting at 1:30 p.m. This year’s seminar will cover such topics as utilizing a soil test for proper fertilization, controlling pasture pests such as gophers, fire ants, grasshoppers and army worms, weed control and weed control product updates, and a grower’s panel made up of successful growers from the area. A total of five CEU’s will be given to pesticide applicators. A steak dinner will be served at the conclusion of the seminar, all compliments of the Beef and Forage Committee and their sponsors.
Judging of the hay samples will take place prior to the seminar, with the winners of the show being named at the conclusion of the seminar.
Anyone feeding hay is encouraged to submit a sample of their hay for analysis. The Beef and Forage Committee is encouraging beef cattle producers to simply turn in a sample of their hay for analysis. The analysis will be done by the Texas A&M Forage testing lab and the results will be handed out during the meeting.
The hay show will allow any hay producer from Austin, or a surrounding county, to enter forage samples in the show. The focus of the show is to emphasize the importance of utilizing high quality hay. Producers may submit as many samples as they wish for the show, in each of the following categories: coastal Bermuda grass, other Bermuda grasses, other perennial warm-season grasses, annual warm season grasses, cool season grasses, legume-grass mix and legumes.
