[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7620697, member: 2119"] We grew them for whole crop silage about 5 years ago. The lupins were knobbled by delia bean fly as seedlings so we were left with a field of triticale. We decided to leave that to combine it but it got ram full of ergot so was almost unusable. The next year we grew white lupins for combining and they produced a very good crop but combined in mid October and took some drying to put it mildly. Cattle did well on them bashed flat into big flakes through the rolling mill. I quite like the combinable sort though next time I’d have a mobile drier revved up and waiting. My radial bins were too slow at drying them and they discoloured a bit, in fact when we first switched the fans on you could see the water moving across the floor of the bin and creeping out the edges.😆 [/QUOTE]
