KALE
Kale is a brassica traditionally grown for grazing in the autumn and winter. It can also be cut and fed to stock ‘in house’ or as an alternative can be ensiled as big bale kaleage.
Kale is very useful as it can extend the grazing season. This crop is best strip grazed to avoid excessive wastage and ensure both leaf and stem are eaten. It is advisable to stagger sowing dates to ensure it does not over-mature. It is very adaptable and can grow on most sites throughout the UK. Kale can also be used as game cover.
