Are you short of spring grazing? This is T101 WinterMax Forage Triticale on organic farm in SW England. 2 weeks into grazing @TerraFarmer_Ag. More winter growth than Forage Rye, for less money!

It has been a tough establishment season for winter sown cereals. Weatherproof T101 Wintermax Forage Triticale stands out. Seed crops in adjacent fields sown December & January. James Wallace for scale! @WynnstayAgri @DaltonSeeds @ProCamUK Oct. crops already grazed or in clamps

[Francis Dunne @FrancisDSeeds]

@WynnstayAgri No problem

[Francis Dunne @FrancisDSeeds]

Heading for early turnout. A crop of T101 Wintemax Forage Triticale in Pembrokeshire from @WynnstayAgri

@croftfootfarm @DSVUKSEEDS Sadly a couple of years away, but great to see developments in species other than Perennial Ryegrass.

[Francis Dunne @FrancisDSeeds]

Interesting visit to DSV trials at Wardington, Oxfordshire. A view into the future. New @DSVUKSEEDS Timothy with excellent early growth - Also dense and very late heading.

[Francis Dunne @FrancisDSeeds]

Challenging field conditions NW Herefordshire. Picture 1. T101 WinterMax Forage Triticale drilled 12th Oct. Picture 2. Leading Forage Rye drilled late September. One clear winner.
