Dr. John Baylor is best known for his passion for and support of forage agriculture. This passion began on his parents’ New Jersey farm, and it grew into a life devoted to forage-livestock programs at the local, state, national, and international levels. Dr. Baylor served as the state Exten-sion Forage Specialist at Pennsylvania State University where he developed a model extension program and started the Pennsylvania Forage Council. He was widely recognized for leader-ship roles in professional and public forage organizations, including the American Forage and Grassland Council, National Hay Association, Atlantic Seedsmen, Certified Al-falfa Seed Council, and International Grassland Congress. Dr. Baylor was also the founder of the Forage and Grassland Foundation which sponsors this scholarship.
