In the Nebraska Panhandle, prevent plant acres have had annual forages planted on them this year. Windrow grazing, sometimes called swath grazing, is a management practice that can significantly reduce harvesting, feeding costs and has advantages. Snowfall from October through March can be quite variable; however, extended periods when snow cover would prevent windrow grazing are limited. When windrow grazing annual forages, nitrate poisoning is a potential risk. Annual forages placed in the windrow should also be tested for nitrates prior to grazing.
