Triticale

But yeah, we, we graze some cereal rye.

Triticale, really for grazing triticale works better.

Cereal rye, you know, really you get about a month's worth of grazing.

'Cause you'll look at it on one day in the spring and it's three or four inches tall, and you'll say, "Well, you know, we'll let it grow a, a little bit." And then a few days later you come back and that stuff is...

Y- you should've had animals on it earlier.

And then once it shoots up a seed head, they, they just don't care for it that much.

Triticale you can graze a lot longer.

You can...

Corn silage was this week.

Triticale, things busy in BC too?

You were mentioning you just finished seeding when I spoke to you earlier.

We're just finishing

That's it.

That's all right.

Triticale is interesting for people that use it within season because its ability to overwinter.

But to me, that question of am I using it purely as emergency or am I playing this long game of putting up a bigger feed pile with the benefit of that winter period, that vernalization, is fundamentally looking at your feed inventories and can you get past next May, right? Because even then it's tight, right? Like 11 months of feed is still tight, but it might get you to that window to harvest that stuff next spring.

and a lot of foxtail, a lot of ragweed there.

I'm going to plant it into Triticale.

I want to spray the field to clean up the ragweed and foxtail.

The ragweed and foxtail has already gone to seed.
