Dedicated to researching and promoting the value of the forage industry, the Midwest Forage Association (MFA) helps to educate farmers on methods that would make them more profitable in their practices with a focus on forages. Chelsea Russell, the local council director for the Midwest Forage Association explains more about the research they do and how they benefit not only farmers but the community.

“Members of the association get access to our magazine and newsletter as well as coupons from our industry supporters,” says Russell. “The most important goal of MFA though is to provide support to our local councils.”

The MFA has several local councils throughout the region that serve as the grassroots of the association. The councils play key roles in the support of the Midwest Forage Research Program.
