Forage Rape
A quick growing, leafy brassica plant, this species provides a very palatable, high yielding, protein rich crop for livestock.
Stubble Turnip
One of the most popular short term forage crops in the UK. Stubble turnips are quick to establish with a good level of protein, making them ideal to fatten livestock, especially lambs over the winter. Different varieties are available, from white fleshed round bulbs to pink and white coloured tankard shaped bulbs. The small seed and low sowing rate make them a very economical way of feeding livestock.
