Ontario Picks Rep For American Forage Competition

Ontario's 2015 Forage Master is from Lennox and Addington.

Chris Brown and his wife, Brianne, operate Beslea Farms near Yarker.

Brown credits high quality forage as the foundation for their 100 head dairy herd.

The Ontario Forage Master Competition is sponsored by PICKSEED Canada, SGS Agri-Food Laboratories, the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair and the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association.

There were close to 200 entries this year.

OSCIA President Alan Kruszel says all five finalists in this year's competition were dairy producers.

Chris will represent Ontario in the 2016 American Forage and Grassland Council's Forage Spokesperson Competition in January in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
