GLASS AND DAVID L BRANSBY INTRODUCTION The large number of commercially available varieties of wheat, oats, rye, barley, and triticale makes it difficult for growers to select varieties most suited for forage production in their particular area of the State. Many of the small grain species and varieties differ in their capability to produce early fall and winter forage for livestock production. Making the proper selection requires up-to-date, unbiased, reliable information and varietal forage yield by season. Entries in each experiment are determined by the companies or institutes which control each variety, or line, not by experiment station personnel. Data from tests conducted at 10 locations were used to compile this report. These locations represent the varied growing conditions around the State for the past 3 years. PROCEDURE The experimental design for the tests was a split plot design with species as the main plot and varieties as subplots. Plots were 5 feet by 20 feet with rows spaced 7 inches apart. A cone drill was used to plant all tests. Each variety was replicated three times in each test. The tests are normally planted in late September to early October. In 1996, all test locations were planted in early to mid October. In 1995, most locations were planted in late September to mid October. Marion. Junction was planted in late October 1995. The tests were fertilized at planting with 100 pounds N per acre and clipped with a flail-type mower each time they reached 6 inches in height. A sample was weighed green from each plot, then dried and reweighed. The percent dry matter figure from these weights was used to calculate forage dry matter per acre. The tests were topdressed in February with 60 pounds N per acre and clipping was continued until no regrowth occurred in the spring. DATA EXPLANATION Dry matter forage is recorded for seasonal and total yields by locations. The four seasonal periods are: autumn-forage produced through December; winter-January and February production; early spring-March and early April production; and late spring-production after April 20. DISCUSSION Growing conditions and variety forage performance often vary among locations and years. Multiple-year averages are given here to use as a better indicator for performance comparison. In the 1994-95 growing season, wet, cloudy conditions in the north reduced fall growth. A mild winter allowed good forage production in the spring. In the 1995-96 growing season, below normal temperatures in winter and early spring resulted in very little growth at most locations until late spring. In the 1996-97 growing season, all locations had wet conditions but normal growth occurred on most varieties. Wet conditions also delayed clipping at some locations and may have reduced yields of some varieties.
