Brian Rowley, mixed arable and dairy farmer based in South Derbyshire chats with Limagrain UK's forage product manager, John Spence about the importance of forage quality for his dairy herd.

Whilst some farmers may be looking primarily at yield when selecting grass mixtures, Brian explains that he believes it is the forage quality that stands out for him and makes a huge difference to production on farm.

Brian uses Prosper and Colossal Silage from the LG Sinclair McGill grass mixtures range, as advised by Graeme Ball of GLW Feeds. It is a dual purpose cutting and grazing mixture which provides the quality silage he needs for his jersey herd and has seen a lift in milk quality and milk yields compared to mixes he's previously used.

John Spence gives the background on the science and trials work that goes on to bring LG Sinclair McGill mixtures to the market, from variety selection to create formulations that meet grower demand for yield, disease, groundcover and importantly, forage quality, to the importance of reseeding.
