There is growing interest in using annual clover varieties for inclusion in cocktail mixtures and cereal intercropping systems in the Peace.

Many annual crops are suitable for inclusion in cocktail mixtures for forage production (grazing, silage or greenfeed) and to improve soil

Proper nutrition is essential for crop growth and production. Nitrogen is the most common limiting nutrient for crop production systems. In

Brassicas are a group of closely related plants, which include cabbage, cauliflower, kale, rape, radish, turnip, rutabaga and swede. Grazing

Because of the interest in cocktail mixtures, there is a need to regularly test new annual crops as they are introduced to the Peace for the

There is growing interest in the potential for a multispecies cover crop mixture (cocktail) for forage-based livestock production. The idea

Because of the increasing number of acres of cocktail mixtures in parts of the Peace, there is a need to regularly test new annual crops as

Cocktail cover crops are often used to further increase the benefits of a one-species cover crop. Cocktail cover crops offer more diversity

Swath grazing is a management practice that can be used to extend the grazing season and to reduce feed, labor and manure handling costs

Annual and Italian ryegrasses are easier to establish. Producers ask many questions about annual and Italian ryegrass varieties.

Annual crops for forages can be used to provide an additional source of hay, silage or pasture when perennial forage crops are in short

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

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.

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
