Is This the Most Underrated Feed Crop in the West?

Low maintenance, high yield, cow-approved — triticale is quickly moving from niche to must-have on cattle operations. Triticale may once have been considered a niche crop, but its value in cattle production is becoming harder to ignore. “The cattle industry has really benefited from this type of crop,” says Len Solick of Solick Seeds. “It’s produced really well, and in drier conditions it’s been a huge bonus.” Part of triticale’s appeal is its versatility. Producers can swath graze it in winter, bale it for feed, or blend it with barley for silage. “We’ve got customers who will put in about two bushels an acre of triticale to one bushel of barley,” Solick says. “That mix goes into a silage pit, and it gives them the right moisture balance because triticale matures later than barley.” Among the varieties Solick Seeds offers, AB Stampeder is his newest. Developed at Western Crop Innovations’ research facility, Solick says the variety has a number of pros. “Palatability for the cow is

CBRC signs agreement with AAFC on barley breeding

The Canadian Barley Research Coalition (CBRC) has announced an investment of $1,148,900 over three years in a Core Barley Breeding Agreement with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC).  The producer-funded investment is expected to support the development of new barley varieties with higher yields, stronger disease resistance, and improved agronomics to ensure the long-term competitiveness and sustainability of Canadian barley. A news release says the Core Barley Breeding Agreement ensures that farmers remain at the forefront of driving research priorities. It adds that by working with AAFC’s world-class researchers, CBRC is helping deliver practical solutions and improved genetics that respond to evolving market and environmental demands. The efforts are expected to support Canada’s position as a global leader in crop development where barley is a vital crop for Canada, supporting the malting, brewing, feed, and food sectors.
