* Soil temperature

Summer forage crops provide high quality, high volume fodder allowing paddock carrying capacity to be increased. Summer crops fit well into a rotation with the opportunity to break disease cycles, clean up dirty paddocks, and utilise summer soil moisture. The combination of good agronomy and appropriate forage variety choice assists in achieving excellent financial seasonal returns. Choosing the correct species will depend on the type of livestock being fed, when the feed is required and whether forage conservation is desired
