entry, it was 3,228 pounds of milk per ton.

In the dairy hay, it was 3,196 pounds of milk per ton.

And in the grass hay, it was 3,321 pounds of hay per ton.

So all three were pretty good milk production figures.

But Wisconsin did good in other categories.

In fact, we had four champions.

The grand champion, alfalfa haylage, were Andy and Melissa Vine from Greenwood, Wisconsin.

Have the numbers changed that much in 40 years as far as the quality? Or are we just being consistent? Are we getting better genetics? What do you see?

And it's interesting, I think this year the top two were from different farms, but they're both from basically the same area over in Eastern Wisconsin.

Wisconsin.That's right, Bob.

In, uh, with the hundreds of samples that were submitted, the two highest quality forage samples this year were grass hay from Seymour, Wisconsin.

So obviously they had a favorable hay-making situation.

But more importantly, I think it shows that our test is fair, that, uh, any forage can be a very high quality.

Some years it's been corn silage, some years alfalfa, and this year the two champions, the grand champion and the champion first time entrant, were both grass hay from Seymour, Wisconsin.

So that shows that it probably is a fair test in terms of quality, and it also shows that we in Wisconsin can produce some pretty good hay and haylage.

Well, tell us the names of those, uh, two farmers from over in Seymour and some of the numbers that jumped out at you as far as, uh, the quality of the grass hay that they put up.
