Forage Peas




If you are looking for a quick growing source of high crude protein fodder then put forage peas on your shortlist. Apart from producing a very palatable, high protein feed the crop fixes its own nitrogen. Forage peas are very flexible - the crop can be big baled, ensiled in a clamp, or grazed in-situ and it provides a sound foundation in an arable silage mixture.
