Despite this, we still have deficiencies in the production of high quality roughage. With the project "Silage Soybeans Promises Hope for Muş" supported by the Education and Publication Department of our Ministry, we will have realized a first in our city in order to close our roughage deficit in the field of forage crops by planting soybean silage on an area of 15 decares in our province for demonstration purposes.
