Cafeteria plot experiment

[Derek Reese 29]

4 week update..with a good amount of rain and hot days, the brassica mix has taken off and the clovers are actually starting to get some growth on them. The random sorghum from the GRO mix is at least a foot tall too. The buckwheat seems to be getting browsed the most, but that was expected. Overall very pleased..also had this buck in the plot in daylight.

Never tried triticale, have always want too. It's not readily available around me, how is the usage compared to rye and wheat?

Where are you getting the triticale?

I have an Amish farm store near me that has WR, WW, oats and triticale at reasonable prices. I noticed a bit of an uptick in usage last year compared to just WR

7 ish week update?
Brassica and turnips are getting big and clover is starting to fill in the in between spots, but figure some cooler weather will help that along..interesting note that the bottom half of this plot was burned earlier this spring is markedly more sparse than the non burned top part..not sure if this is due to the decent slope or if the fire ate up some nutrients…still very pleased overall..
