Pioneer Forage Forum, the first
dairy- and nutrition-related audio program for livestock
producers, is moving Web site locations. The three-year-old
program from Pioneer Hi-Bred,
a DuPont business, is making the move from Pioneer GrowingPoint®
website to
www.pioneer.com/forages for all growers and producers to
utilize.
Segments include information regarding forage management
practices for boosting nutritional value and feedout techniques
for optimum production.
"Pioneer has an extensive team of experts who specialize in
harvest and feeding management, dairy and nutritional sciences,
and forage and silage trait development" says Robin Newell,
Pioneer senior marketing manager. "Pioneer strives to share that
wealth of knowledge with livestock producers and growers. Moving
the audio segments from our customer site, GrowingPoint, to
Pioneer's main site will allow all visitors to listen."
The spring segments included topics regarding the turn in dairy
prices with information on becoming more efficient to
potentially boost producers' bottom lines, alfalfa traits,
planting and management, and corn silage hybrid selection.
Future segments include timely topics such as the impact of
growing conditions on nutritional value of corn silage, bunker
set up and management, silage chop height, measuring feed
quality performance and others. These segments will draw on
dairy feed studies at the Pioneer Livestock Nutrition Center, as
well as trials with university cooperators.
"No other seed company has the range and depth in forage
research and nutritional information," says Newell. "Pioneer has
a forage technical support network that includes 18 full-time
ruminant nutrition, veterinary and microbial forage additive
experts. These specialists interact with dairy, beef and forage
producers on a daily basis throughout North America. Pioneer
researchers conduct corn silage hybrid testing and product
development at 15 research stations in the Northern Hemisphere.
Segments are posted to
www.pioneer.com/forages with new installments posted every
two weeks. Pioneer Forage Forum segments are presented as audio
files, each approximately three to five minutes long. The audio
also can be accessed at
www.worlddairydiary.com. Both sites also archive previous
Pioneer Forage Forum segments, covering subjects related to
silage harvesting and processing, crop value, and analysis and
planning.
