Description
Late Maturity Oat for Grazing
Forester forage oats deliver strong early vigour, excellent grazing recovery and high biomass for silage or hay. A reliable late-maturing forage oat that is extremely leaf, a leader in the market.
Forester’s early vigour allows for early sowing which can open up early grazing opportunities for farmers. With strong regrowth growers will still receive a high level of bulk for hay or silage, and there may be the chance for multiple cuts where conditions allow.
- Rapid establishment and strong early vigour
- Late maturity for extended spring growth
- Good resilience in dry finishing seasons
- Suitable for grazing, silage or hay
