Forage Crops

Forage crops are now playing an increasingly important role in UK agriculture. By selecting from the top quality varieties in our comprehensive portfolio you will be able to reduce your reliance on expensive bought-in concentrates.

To make a real success of your forage-cropping programme it is very important to select not only the right variety but also the right crop for your home-grown feed programme.

Your initial decision will hinge around the length of time you wish to have the crop in the ground. So to help you make the right choice we subdivide the crops into three distinct categories.
