Triticale seed

[Barmyfarmer]

Does anyone know where I'll find triticale seed? Plan on putting it in for wholecrop and then getting hold of a forager with a stripper header for harvest? People usually slate triticale for the high straw to grain ratio making it a bit bland and not milky enough for a dairy ration but with a stripper header it would solve that problem

How much are you looking for Barmy ? We are processing Somtri at the moment and may once we know the out turn have a bit to spare.

I've had a lot success with Triticale. I undersow it with something like Westerwolds and bale it all. I also leave some fields just grass silage as I find the younger stock take longer to get into the Trit bales. The cows the very first year were the same for a day or so and then they took off on it.

I made a short thread about it a few years ago

Triticale as a baled silage

Hi everyone, first post here so bare with me! Has anyone here fed Triticale and if so what's been your thoughts on the matter? I tried it in a test field last year and ended up with 15 bales to the acre out of it. Was still dubious as to it's feed quality however as it seemed quite strawy to...

triticale seed is very expensive isn't it?
