Oat is the most popular cool-season cereal crop grown for forage and has become a reliable source of conserved forage for over-wintering

The Regional Silage Variety Trials (RSVTs) are an important source of information for livestock forage based production regarding the forage

Cover crops (CCs) and their mixtures (cocktail mixtures) are an important tool that producers can use to generate multiple benefits

Interest in the potential for a multispecies cover crop (CC) blend for silage, swath grazing and greenfeed has been growing amongst beef

The RSVTs help to provide information with regard to the quantity and quality of annual crops cut for green-feed and silage.

In Alberta, oats have become a reliable source of conserved forage for over-wintering beef cattle.

To identify barley varieties that have superior forage production in the Peace, PCBFA took part in the Regional Variety Testing program

Usually we think of cover crops in terms of reducing soil erosion and adding organic matter to the soil – but they can do much more.

For optimal growth, plants need a diversity of nutrients. Enhanced microbial activity in the soil will lead to healthier and more fertile so

In the Peace, swath grazing annual cereal crops continues to be adopted by livestock producers as a method of extending the grazing season.

A series of workshops on cover cropping put on by PCBFA has shown that the advantages of integrating cover cropping systems into the forage
