Description
Our swath grazing blend is designed to be an additive to a producers own cereal swath grazing. The blend is created to increase protein, energy levels, and digestibility, all while allowing the producer to graze more animals and produce more lbs/acre. When managed with break fencing, it ensures a good swath clean up. The root system left behind adds more organic matter for the soil.
Seeding Rate | 5-7 lbs/acre (add 30-40 lbs of cereal and 10+ lbs of forage peas)

Management Considerations
- Avoid planting brassicas in high sulphur soils. Brassicas will store the sulphur into their cells, then when grazed can cause Bovine Polio.
- Agronomically, be sure to rotate brassica plantings to avoid disease. Flea beetles can be a pest of a forage brassica. Watch for damage in the first 3-4 weeks after planting. A pesticide may be required to prevent crop damage.
