🌿 PEAQ Monitoring is Underway!

PEAQ (Predictive Equations for Alfalfa Quality) stick monitoring is in full swing across the region! Developed by UW–Madison, this tool estimates the relative feed value of first cutting alfalfa based on crop height and maturity—helping you make informed harvest decisions.

🌱 Use PEAQ to:
✅ Track alfalfa growth and development
✅ Time harvest for your preferred forage quality
✅ Balance quality and tonnage
📅 During May, samples are collected Mondays & Thursdays, with results posted Tuesdays & Fridays.
