August 12 – Forage quality data has been added to the PDF document.

August 10

  • Quality data is now available (variety selection platform only) for the ryegrass trial at the Wiregrass Research and Extension Center in Headland.  This makes two seasons of quality data for some varieties.
  • Each quality variable now has a “top group” data field for early-season, late-season, and season average.  If the top group value equals 100%, the value is not statistically different from the best numeric value.  If the top group value equals 0%, the value is statistically different from the best numeric value.
