SDSU Extension is holding a series of Drought Webinars this month. SDSU Extension Beef Feedlot Management Specialist Warren Rusche will be talking today about salvaging drought stressed corn for livestock feed.

He says one of the positive ways in salvaging that corn is through the sileage process.

Rusche says feed sources are scarce and likely will remain that way for awhile.

Rusche says producers will be challenged in trying to figure out how to get their cattle through the winter and having enough feed on hand to handle their needs.

The drought webinars run from 11 am until Noon central time., with programs set for today, August 23 and August 30.
