This year we've expanded Grass Yield Enhancement Network to include maize and whole cropped cereals that are used for livestock feed and energy production. We've rebranded the network as Forage YEN.
Homegrown forage and energy crops can provide economic, high-quality feedstocks, yet yields achieved on-farm are often less than half of the potential. We want to bridge this gap by developing a better understanding of how to increase productivity.
Membership benefits include:

- A comprehensive post-harvest report with analysis of the crop and causes of performance shortfalls.
- Regular Forage YEN newsletters
- Access to new research, and industry/farming contacts to develop new ideas
- National recognition for highest energy yields and percentage of potential yield attained.
- Attendance at the Annual Forage YEN Conference
- If you are interested in receiving corporate sponsorship to cover the cost of your entry, we may be able to match you with a sponsor (limited spaces available). Contact [email protected] for more information.
