Each farm is different in its ability to grow forages. Factors which affect your choice of forage are:

  • Soil Type
  • Rainfall
  • Temperature
  • Day Length
  • Availability of labour
  • Availability of machinery/contractors
  • Storage Facilities
  • 'Feed Out' Facilities
  • Availability of capital

 

Evaluate each crop on whether it fits into your farm system, it may be that you end up with too much work to do at a particular time of year.
