Options for Planting Annual Forages After Hail

Options for Planting Annual Forages After Hail


Recent hailstorms have wreaked havoc on many crops in the Nebraska Panhandle and around the state. This is prompting some producers to ask what their options are for planting forages in situations where the crop was destroyed. The following are questions to consider as producers evaluate their options.

Are there insurance rules that would restrict how a forage can be planted? Visit your insurance agent and confirm you can plant a forage crop and be in compliance with the rules.

What were the herbicides applied to the crop that was destroyed and what are the plant back restrictions? Are there any harvest restrictions for forages planted due to prior herbicides?

Will the forage be used for silage, hay or grazing?
