How to buy and harvest a standing wholecrop
If you strike a deal for wholecrop, then you need to plan for its harvesting and ensiling.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about constructing a feed budget early on, in order to be able to source additional feed should you require it. With the harvest at a crossroads between winter and spring crops, the opportunity to obtain some whole crop still remains.Â
I have walked a lot of prospective crops for customers in the last two weeks and it is fair that there is a mixed bag available out there for livestock farmers, when it comes to crops up for sale. There will be many reasons why a cereal crop will be for sale, rather than being combined by the grower.Â
