Non-Legume Mixture

Triticale Plus

An example of Triticale Plus

Annual ryegrass is a great feedstuff once we hit warmer temperatures in the spring, but lacks growth in the dead of winter. Extend that growth period by including triticale with the ryegrass. It grows in cooler temperatures and won’t compete with the ryegrass. Perfect for grazing, as cover crop, or for baleage. Not recommended for dry hay.

Testimonials

  • Beef cows grazing triticale plus

    I wish I had a hundred acres to put Triticale Plus on; I would need no hay or other winter feed. Annuals have become an important component in extending nearly year round grazing for me. It also lets us keep our numbers up knowing we will have extra high quality grazing. The advantage is in quality of feed combined with cost as well as low labor, as compared to feeding hay or other stored feed.
