The Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association's Green Gold program has been around since 1995. They work with producers all over the province to determine the best time to harvest alfalfa hay.
MFGI Board Chair Lawrence Knockaert is a producer in Bruxelles who has been part of the program for 25 years, and he says the program needs producers from all over the province.
"It gets your hay cut at the right time with whatever protein you want to pick, so that way you dont need to suppliment your protein because you're taking it off at its peak value which is very beneficial for farmers."
