Fodder Crops

 Why grow forage crops?

 Growing your own forage crops makes economic sense

 Your feed is totally traceable

 Reduces the need to buy in expensive concentrates

 

By carefully selecting species and then again selecting for variety you not only get the best suited forage crops for your situation but can ensure that by planning the sowing dates to match your feeding reuirements you have a steady stream of valuable feed.

Fodder Beet, Stubble Turnip, Kale, Forage Rye, Maincrop Turnip, Forage Rape, Swede, Forage Peas as well as Catch Crop Mixtures are all valuable feed sources wich can add to your profitability.

New varieties are being added all the time along with importing different ideas for example Chicory, which is now being used in a number of ways. With Plantain Tonic as a Lamb Tonic, this is a new concept developed in New Zealand.
