What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?The project has provided opportunities to train a graduate student to learn about birdsfoot trefoil and develop management options. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?During the Field Days and Demonstrations, summarized results were delivered to producers/growers who were interested in learning to grow new legumes such as birdsfoot trefoil in their production systems. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?
Nothing Reported
Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
1.Birdsfoot trefoilwassuccessfully grown at two locations in Wyoming - Lingle and Torrington. The results of the study indicatedthat the crop has greatpotential to be grown in Wyoming's environments. 2.Focus was to not only successfully establish the crop but also to develop best management practices for sustainable production of birdsfoot trefoil. Studies were conducted at Lingle and Torrington with different planting methods and harvesting regimes and information was gathered, compiled, and communicated to producers through field days, presentations, and publications.

Progress 10/01/15 to 09/30/16
Outputs Target Audience:Producers, scientists, and students. Changes/Problems:The study was affected by a hailstorm during 2016 growing season. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?The project has provided an opportunity to train a graduate student.The student has learned about birdsfoot trefoil and developed management options. Also, through this project, preliminary information was communicated to producers during Field Days and Demonstration. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?During the Field Days and Demonstration, first year's results were delivered to producers/growers who are interested to learn and grown new legumes such as birdsfoot trefoil. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Data on growth and management of birdsfoot trefoilis being collected from two locations, and analyzed and compiled. Data will be disseminated to producers/growers and published in AES bulletins and also as journal articles.
Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
1) Birdsfoot trefoil was successfully established and grown at two locations in Wyoming - Lingle and Torrington. The crop showspotential to be grown in Wyoming's environments. 2) The study focuses on not only successfully establishing the crop but also developing the best management practices for sustainable production. Studies are beingconducted in Lingle and Torrington with different planting methods and harvesting regimes.

Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
The major goal of the project is to evaluate birdsfoot trefoil to fill the knowledge gap for Wyoming on this important forage legume crop.An extensive review is being conducted and information on birdsfoot trefoil is being collected. A graduate student is working on the project and collecting information related to birdsfoot trefoil including available or not available information, especially in Wyoming growing conditions. Accomplishmentsunder specific objectives: 1. Determine if the crop can be grown to its full potential in Wyoming environments.Birdsfoot trefoil has been successfully grown at two locations in Wyoming - Lingle and Torrington. This indicates that the crop has potential to growin Wyoming environments. 2. Develop best establishment, management, and production practices for producers.Focus has been given not only to successfully establish the crop but also to develop best management practices for sustainable production. Studies has been conducted in Lingle and Torrington with different planting methods and harvesting regimes.
