Why FORAGE YEN? Homegrown forage & energy crops can provide economic, high-quality feedstocks, yet yields achieved on-farm are often less than half of the potential. FORAGE YEN can bridge this gap by developing a better understanding of how to increase productivity.
Huge congratulations to our 2021 Gold Award winner - James Ryder who was sponsored by @CortevaForage. James took home four awards this year with his impressive yield and quality cuts of grass silage 🥇🚜 🌱#silage21#Harvest2021#forage#grass@ADASGroup@adasYEN
How's your #silage harvest going? @EvansKatie215 who manages @ForageYen has been out and about with sponsor @JohnDeere to measure silage biomass, moisture and quality.
We'll use these results to find new ways to enhance future #grass yields. #Farm24
We've now created #DynamicBenchmarking for YEN members from our @innovateuk project. If you want to give it a go register and login to the YEN website. let us know how you get on. https://t.co/a0bqe0bKWX

A long time member of YEN, Mark Doble sponsored by @BASFcropUK achieved 13.9 t/ha in 2020. He shares with @FarmersWeekly how he managed to achieve good yields despite the difficult growing year ⬇
Forage YEN aims to gain a better understanding of yield formation of forage crops and to identify the key factors constraining yields. Our model estimates the maximum potential biomass & ME yield based on location, seasonality and soil type. #harvest2021
FORAGE YEN - This year we are expanding Grass YEN to include maize and whole cropped cereals that are used for both livestock feed and energy production, re-branding to @ForageYen. If you are interested in taking part please email [email protected]@ADASGroup@adasYEN
