Oats offer palatability while barley often yields more dry matter. Spring sowing of winter cereals also provides good pasture in the seeding year with regrowth for rotational grazing.
Farmers are advised to use a 50 50 mix of fall rye or winter triticale with an annual cereal such as oats or barley to extend forage. Cereal crops can be used as pasture or harvested as greenfeed with regrowth grazed later. Seedling blight risk rises in cold wet soils 5 to 10 C. seed treatments improve germination and stand establishment per the 1995 Crop Protection guide.
