The Clemson Forage Research Laboratory is an important research and Extension resource for South Carolina’s farmers and livestock producers. We actively work on research projects to attend the SC stakeholder needs and provide research-based recommendations for forage-livestock systems statewide and in the Southeast region. We provide reliable information for livestock producers, forage managers, agricultural professionals, and anyone seeking information about forage and livestock systems in South Carolina.
