Forage brassica crops have for many years been under-used or forgotten - which is unfortunate as they have enormous potential for the arable/grass/stock farmer.
Late summer forage brassica crops can be profitably put to work in organic and conventional farm rotations as a brassica break from cereals and grass.
They provide the ideal cover crop to utilise in autumn/winter before reseeding a field the following spring.
Below you will find details of our forage brassica mixtures available for delivery to Ireland.
