The FORage VALuation program

Cornell FORVAL is an interactive program that calculates the fair-market price of hays and silages with forage quality test results.  To run the program, you will need the CP, NDF, TDN, and DRY MATTER FRACTION of the forage for which you wish to estimate the market price.  The ADF value is optional.  You will also need prices for reference feeds, which can be obtained at the New York State Feed and Hay Market Summary.
