Forage Brassica
Brassicas are one of the most adaptable tools in the forage toolbox. Quick to establish, high in energy, and easy to graze, they offer a reliable feed solution when permanent pasture can't keep up. From summer growth to autumn clean-up, these crops step in when and where they’re needed most. Whether you’re feeding through a dry spell, prepping a paddock for regrassing, or looking to extend the grazing season, forage brassicas deliver feed that’s both flexible and efficient. With the right timing and variety, they can help fill feed gaps, break pest cycles, and reset the soil for future productivity.
Our Forage Brassica Seed
We offer a targeted selection of forage brassica seed chosen for flexibility, yield, and fit within New Zealand grazing systems. Our main Forage Brassica variety establishes quickly, delivers high dry matter yields, and supports multiple grazings, making it ideal for summer and autumn feed gaps.
Rape is another standout, producing leafy, high-energy forage on a fast turnaround. Kale brings winter hardiness and consistent feed through colder months, making it a solid option for extended rotations. For soil-focused systems, Mustard offers quick growth, weed suppression, and biofumigation benefits as part of a wider brassica fodder strategy.
Whether you’re sowing a short-term crop or integrating brassica pasture into a longer plan, each variety comes with clear sowing guidance and full species detail, so you can plan with confidence and make every paddock count.
Choosing the Right Forage Brassica
Brassicas work best when they’re selected with purpose. Some varieties offer fast regrowth for quick grazing rounds, while others provide bulk feed for holding stock through tougher conditions. Whether you’re targeting short-term production or integrating brassicas into a broader renewal plan, choosing the right crop for the job makes a real difference.
We work with farmers to match forage brassica varieties to the season, grazing pressure, and long-term system goals. With the right planning, brassicas can support pasture recovery, drive weight gain, and improve feed flexibility across your rotation.
