Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
1.Protocols for collecting and storing forage samples on cool (C3) and warm (C4) plants, and on legumes, were determined. Where possible, environmental measures (e.g., elevation; soil description; precipitation) corresponding with the plant sampling were collected. 2.The agenda and tentative speakers for the 5th Grazing Livestock Nutrition Conference (GLNC) were determined. The conference was held in Park City, UT, in July 2016. A USDA Conference proposal had been submitted to facilitate hosting the GLNC. Results of local studies had been demonstrated to AES Field Days. 3.Through engagement of 36 graduate and undergraduate students in research activities underway within this MultistateResearch Project, young scientists have been provided opportunities to develop skills in the design and conduct of successful research programs, and experience with publication and grantsmanship. Five local grad students and two undergraduate students received training on forage production and forage quality.

What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Thisproject has provided professional development and mentoring opportunities to young scientists and graduate students through research, training, and field days. Also, outreach and demonstrations were conducted for producers during field days. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Results and informationweredelivered to relevant communities such as ranchers, producers, and students. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?The project will be continued, data will be collected and analyzed, and findings will be disseminated to relevant communities.
Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
1. Following the protocols, plant samples were collected and stored properly.Plant samples were ground according to the instructions and ground samples will be sent to the specific location(s)/lab for future analyses. 2.In the Intermountain West region, demand for new and suitable plant materials is a long-term issue and iscontinuously increasing. The objective of the study is to evaluate different advanced lines of C3 grasses with the inclusion of some local checks in relation to their growth, yield, and quality response to irrigation, fertilizer, drought, and planting time. Species used in this study include tall fescue (seven lines), tall wheatgrass (three lines), western wheatgrass (five lines), and wildrye (two lines). Fall planting was made in late August 2008 whereas spring planting was in early May 2009. Data collected on different growth parameters, persistence, and forage quality from 2009-2017 for both plantings seems to be different among species and lines. Long-term data collection will help select and develop superior and well-adapted cultivars for the region. 3.Four students (1 PhD and 2 MS) are currently working on forage agronomy programs. Two students (one PhD and one MS) graduated from forage agronomy programs: Abdelaziz Nilahyane, Ph.D., Agronomy, Department of Plant Sciences, University of Wyoming. Spring 2017.
