[QUOTE="neilo, post: 6765775, member: 348"] There was a focus farm by Builth Wells that was trialling it over several years. We’re drier than a lot of Wales, but it would still drown here through the Autumn & Winter, as it would in a lot of pastoral farms in the UK. No doubt it’s a useful crop in areas that burn up ever summer, but it will struggle to survive anywhere else, and certainly not as versatile as a PRG/White Clover ley (or as ‘abusable’) in most situations. Good feed though. We used to buy in a product called ‘Greenbeet’ by the lorry load many years ago. From a mill in Dorset, it was a 50:50 mix of beet pulp and dried lucerne, and used to be delivered to North Glos for £110/t iirc (much cheaper than dairy nuts at the time). Cracking stuff.? [/QUOTE]
