  I'm finishing up my presentation at Rutgers for next Friday with
data still coming in from the lab. Yikes, I made timothy hay that is
31% sugar and fructan!  Hope to meet some of you.  We're going to
learn all about sugar in forage, and too much sugar in horses.  Also
toxic plants in the region, and more good pasture managment topics.
Those of you in the NE region with horse pasture will really benefit
from this seminar, and your attendance will tell the Powers That Be,
that we are concerned about too much carbs in our grass and hay.
Hopefully the summitt meeting on Saturday will generate some
cooperative research on horse specific forage issues. If enough people
make their needs be known.
