Alternative summer feed now available

Dairy farmers looking for high quality summer feed to optimise their payout this season now have an alternative option available for spring sowing.

Dynamo summer turnip features both high yield, and excellent quality to help maintain milk production at a time of year when pasture quality and quantity can be low.

Dynamo also has good keeping ability, offering flexibility when grazing.

Marketer Agriseeds says it’s ideal for all dairy operations, providing increased summer production.

One of the Dynamo’s key characteristics is that its yield is made up of a large proportion of bulb.

That gives it the edge in seasons when crops are heavily challenged by leaf pests or diseases.

Yields for Dynamo have reached 15 t DM/ha in New Zealand farm trials, with metabolisable energy (ME) levels of 12 -14 megajoules (MJ)/kg DM.

Crops can be grazed 10 - 12 weeks after sowing.
