Congratulations to the Virginia Extension agents and producers who submitted hay and
baleage samples in 2020! The Southeast Hay Contest officiants were well aware
that our producers were doing some good things in Virginia pertaining to
harvested forages!!
The rules and entry forms for the 2021 Southeast Hay Contest have
been released.
You can find information on the web at: https://site.caes.uga.edu/sehaycontest/
Please start talking to your hay and baleage producers now! We did
have the overall Grand Prize Contest Winner from Virginia! Last year we had
eighteen (18) samples submitted in our first year of participation! Let’s try
to double it!!
Please note in Virginia we would like to send our samples in bulk.
This worked great last year. Please get your county’s samples to Dr. Katie
Payne at the Southern Piedmont AREC by August 13, 2021.
The address at SPAREC is 2375 Darvills Rd Blackstone, VA 23824.
The $22 fee covers the forage test and entry fee and must be from the farm or
person submitting the sample along with the paperwork.
Virginia did amazingly well in the 2020 Southeast Hay Contest. I hope you will join us in helping the producers reach
their goals.
