With feeding costs typically making up a significant proportion of production costs, introducing a selection of forage crops can help to reduce these costs and improve your profitability.
Although grass must be the priority for most enterprises, forage crops can have a key role to play, especially in drought years, when grass growth and recovery after cutting decreases significantly. There are many crop options to consider; from high yielding harvested crops such as fodder beet, to grazed crops like stubble turnips. Whichever option you choose will help enable you to reduce feeding costs, extend the grazing season, and provide an excellent break crop.
