Forage Crops

The inclusion of forage crops in a tillage rotation presents benefits such as improved soil health and disrupting pest and disease cycles. Forage crops such as Maize and Fodder Beet offers tillage farms an avenue for additional revenue as a sellable cash crop to livestock farmers. As a break crop, maize can boost yields of subsequent cereal crops, thus benefiting crop rotations.

At Drummonds, our experts can offer advice and insights on maintaining crop health and maximising performance through targeted fertility practices and effective weed control measures. This comprehensive approach ensures that your forage crops achieve their full potential in both yield and quality.
