In this episode, host Stephanie Ruff continues the conversation about hay. This month the focus is on how to get the most out of your hay from the purchase to storage to reducing hay waste. And to help us with that, Stephanie talks to Dr. Bob Coleman, associate extension professor in the Department of Animal and Food Sciences in the College of Agriculture at the University of Kentucky, her alma mater. Dr. Colemans extension program covers the state and focuses on nutrition, management and facility design. This is a subject near and dear to his heart.
