Welcome to the Manitoba Forage Council

The Manitoba Forage Council is a progressive organization that proactively initiates projects and conferences which benefit those who make their livelihood in the forage and grassland industry in Manitoba. The Manitoba Forage Council has taken a lead role in the formation of the Canadian Forage and Grassland Association. This association will be key to increasing the lobbying power for those in the industry and supporting enhanced forage and grassland research and development. Another project completed by the Manitoba Forage Council is the Strategic Plan to help focus the Forage Council’s path to assist the forage and grassland industry.

NEW! The MFC is working with MAFRI to look at applicable programming to reestablish forages that have been lost due to the 2011 flooding. To assist with the effort the MFC is trying to capture the situation accurately and would encourage anyone that is directly affected to fill out this Forage Restoration Questionairre

Of course, no projects are of value unless they are communicated to those interested. Research results are communicated via workshops, conferences & meetings as well as on the Forage Council Website. The Council continues to help co-ordinate numerous events each year and in the past four years has produced over 7 publications including publications on Pasture Planning, Forage Fed Beef Production, Argentina Forage Fed Beef Production, Developing your Grazing System, and Sod Seeding, an updated Forage & Grassland Reference Manual to name a few.
