Grazing crops in practice Patchewollock locations
Aims

To monitor the feed value and grain production from different types of grazed cereal crops in Northern Victoria.

Key messages
  • Forage barley variety Moby has vigorous early growth and matures quickly, and should be grazed sufficiently early to enable recovery for a second grazing.
  • Spring wheat variety Bolac maintained yield when sown early and grazed in 2014.  
  • Winter wheat variety Wedgetail can be sown very early (March-early April) in low rainfall areas to utilise early rainfall, and widen both the sowing and flowering window of crops.
