Because tall fescue and orchardgrass are mostly dormant during the summer months, it's not uncommon to experience the "summer slump", a lack of available forage due to this. But, summer annual forages, such as sorghum-sudangrass, can help fill this slump, and provide high-quality forage for grazing or harvesting.

N.C. Cooperative Extension of Stokes County and Stokes County Soil and Water Conservation are teaming up to host Mixing it up with Summer Annual Forages, a program including topics such as soil fertility for these species, available summer annual species, and establishing these forages.

The program will be on May 4, 2021, at 6 p.m. at the N.C. Cooperative Extension of Stokes County office. Registration is $10. Register on Eventbrite.
