Current competition for land from other crops is putting further pressure on the forage industry to increase margins or be converted into a more profitable commodity. This makes forage breeding a key piece to the long term health of the beef industry.
The forage breeding program at the Lethbridge Research and Development Centre is aimed at improvement of crops such as alfalfa, sainfoin, cicer milkvetch, orchardgrass, and giant wildrye. Researchers have developed adapted perennial forage cultivars of these crops along with an annual legume ‘fenugreek’ and appropriate agronomic packages for optimizing forage and seed production. They have also collaborated with other North American researchers to explore other uses for these crops.
Join this free webinar to learn more about the success stories of some of these crops, consequent impacts, and how you can utilize them on your operation.
