Why grow kale?

  • High dry matter yield from a single grazing.
  • Provides valuable late-autumn and winter feed from March to June.
  • Deep root system provides good drought tolerance once established.
  • Helps fill the winter feed gap when pasture growth slows.
  • Flexible grazing timing once the crop has reached maturity.
  • Most cultivars have good aphid and clubroot tolerance.
  • Performs particularly well with reliable soil moisture, irrigation or effluent.
  • Taller varieties generally produce higher dry matter yields, while shorter types tend to have a better leaf-to-stem ratio.
