For the past 35 years, the Kentucky Alfalfa Conference has offered alfalfa and animal producers and enthusiasts the chance to get the latest information on the most pressing topics during a one-day event. This year’s conference on Feb. 26 at the Cave City Convention Center will continue that tradition.
Participants will hear from industry experts, specialists from the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture, Food and Environment and some of the state’s top alfalfa producers. Discussion topics include requirements to break Kentucky’s beef per acre record; red meat, health and alfalfa; alfalfa and the environment; and perspectives about hay quality from Garry Lacefield, UK extension forage specialist, and a panel of five Kentucky producers.
In addition, attendees can participate in the conference’s annual silent auction.
