Has anyone had experience with the forage wheat from Eagle Seeds? From what I gather it is taller, leafier, and tillers more than grain varieties.
I removed some plot space with CRP enrollment and after this season and now find myself needing to maximize production with the space I have left. Brassicas obviously produce a lot, but once they're gone their gone. I had several rye and triticale plots germinate with volunteer seed in early August, I thought they'd be rank and worthless by season but let them go as an experiment. Boy was I wrong. Between a drier fall and browse pressure, they never got much more than 6" and are currently putting green short and still drawing deer. The idea of a high tonnage plot that can get eaten to the dirt and continue to grow when conditions allow is certainly appealing.
