[QUOTE="Daniel, post: 8695840, member: 315"] Growing it as a 2nd cereal this year in place of rye. Rye did well last year but it’s quite low protein at about 9% so requires extra soya meal and oil to balance it in a poultry ration, which is currently expensive. Triticale should be higher protein and it mainly looks good 🤞It didn’t establish too well in places where we chopped the straw, there was a lot of it, our combines straw chopper left the straw too long, and the Claydon bunched it up in places. Going to try serrated knives in the chopper this year to see if it gives a shorter cut, think with the early harvest last year the straw wasn’t as ripe as the grain and didn’t chop easily, failing that, bale it.
