Take a look at the 2009 Dodge County UW-Extension Annual Report.

The UW-Extension Dodge County office and the Dodge County Forage Council monitor and report alfalfa quality results beginning the second week of May each year.

The PEAQ (Predictive Equations for Alfalfa Quality) method will again be used to evaluate alfalfa quality this spring. Extension agents and farmers across the state have relied on the PEAQ method for several years and have found that it produces accurate results. In addition, it’s a tool that anyone can use to evaluate hay quality and receive information about the quality of their alfalfa immediately. Using the PEAQ stick, simply measure the height of the tallest stem in a one square foot area, determine maturity stage of the most mature stem in the same area and read the value printed on the PEAQ stick to quickly and accurately estimate the alfalfa quality in the field.

PEAQ sticks are available at the UW-Extension Dodge County office for $10 each.
