Roots
Changing environmental and climatic conditions challenge your forage production. Grasses that can better handle spring and early summer drought will result in a healthy and high yielding crop.
Forage Maize
Maize is a sub-tropical crop with its origins in the warmer climates of Central America, this must not be forgotten when selecting where to grow forage maize. Recent introductions of earlier maturing hybrid varieties have increased the areas where maize can be successfully grown in the British Isles. Because maize is a very fast growing crop and we are growing it close to its climatic limits it is very sensitive to soil and site.
