Benefits of Winter Forage By Wade Kidman, Seed Sales As we are moving closer to fall, it’s a perfect time to talk about winter forages. Winter forages are basically a cover crop on steroids, because there is nearly an immediate return to your checkbook. Probably the two most popular winter forages are Cereal Rye and Winter Triticale. Not only do you get tremendous feed quality and tonnage as a forage, but they both have huge benefits to soil health. Some of the soil benefits include…… spring and fall weed suppression, improving soil structure, building soil organic matter, and leaving the soil and surface very mellow. Not to mention they have massive root systems, that can help with compaction, and help with water and wind erosion. Triticale is a cross between winter wheat and cereal rye and needs to be planted in September, the earlier the better, and as soon after corn silage as you can. The more growth and tillers it has in the fall, the better it will survive winter and the better it will yield next spring. Triticale will out yield cereal rye and probably be better quality and has a much bigger harvest window. Cereal Rye is kind of the “last chance crop” and can be planted much later than Triticale, probably as late as November 1. It is very inexpensive and easy to establish, even in very cool weather in a variety of soil types. It makes for great feed and tonnage for beef or dairy cattle. With proper fertility, feed quality can be amazing with very high protein and digestibility that’s better than BMR corn. I’d certainly recommend checking your Nitrogen and Sulfur levels to make sure they are both in line because if one of the two is low, it will have a negative impact. Applying spring fertilizer is always a huge benefit not only for tonnage, but greatly increases quality. Both have very rapid growth and keep growing deep into the fall, even after a frost. Winter or spring grazing is also a great option, and can help give your pastures a break. If you take these for forage cutting at boot stage, or just before the seed head is ready to pop out optimizes top quality and tonnage. Another huge benefit is being able to double crop, and once you take it off in the spring there is still ample time to follow with another crop. Whether you need more feed or planting a cash crop behind it, there are several options. Plus, if it’s a nice fall and you can get your winter forages planted, it lessens the workload for next spring. Instead of wishing and hoping to get to the field in the spring to get small grains/forages planted, the winter forages are already up and growing!
