Time Lapse

We have just posted nine short time-lapse videos illustrating a number of forage management practices including importance of seeding depth, impact of winter pasture management, rotational stocking, and relative seedling vigor of different forage species. I would like to thank Gabriel Roberts, a member of our forage extension group, for all of his hard work in capturing these time-lapse videos!
