Has anyone got any tips for crimping wheat for dairy cows. I am thinking of crimping 28 acres of winter wheat instead of making it into whole crop silage. I have another 53 acres to go in the pit and a bigger than usual heap of first cut.
I have storage in a purpose built indoor pit on a farm that I rent . The crop is at 1100ft up so will take time to ripen. I have tried combining a bit in the past and propcorning it in the mixer wagon but wasn’t very happy with the results as it tended to heat up.
What are the costs of Crimping and additives?
I had come to the conclusion that it was easier to buy wheat in to roll but that was before it got to £300/tonne.
