Why Fall Triticale?

We have had a few questions about why you would use a fall triticale for forage? Fall triticale is ready about 1 week later vs fall rye so it can help you to spread silage workload. I also find you can seed the triticale later in the season vs hybrid rye allowing later planting in the fall while still suppressing weeds well in the spring. Tadeus also has great stand ability for higher fertility situations.

Big Yields From Fall Triticale Silage
We heard of some big yields near Picture Butte for Tadeus triticale silage. It was on a good field so keep that in mind, but with average yield being 21.9 mt per ac (corrected to 65%) putting it in competition with corn tonnage while using less water! Details here from Blair in our blog.
