Description
Small grains are versatile in they can be used as forages, cover crops, or for harvested grains. They also have the added benefit of a straw crop under certain management. Small grains offer the opportunity to maximize space and yields and often lend themselves well to double-cropping.
Management
Depends on what species of small grain you choose to use on your farm. Consult with your PEAK Forage consultant to learn best management practices.
Establishment
Small grains can be drilled or broadcast into a firm seed bed at a rate dependent on the species selected. Contact PEAK Forage to learn more about establishment of small grains on your farm.
