Products for Herbs & Brassicas
Forage brassicas are high quality and yielding, fast growing crops that are particularly suitable for grazing by livestock. Both the tops (stems and leaves) and roots (bulbs) can be grazed and are very nutritious. Most members of the brassica family, such as turnips and rape, produce forage of exceptionally high digestibility (often 85-95%).
