MilkMaker
MilkMaker triticale/pea Mixture is composed of a softer leaved triticale for improved palatability and a true forage pea for improved tonnage and quality. MilkMaker is a 50/50 mix. The smaller seed size on the forage pea will allow for a more peas in the field that assures greater opportunity for improved forage quality. Plant 100-120 pounds per acre and harvest MilkMaker approximately 60 days after planting (when peas start to bloom). Sow 100-120 pounds per acre in the early spring or fall. Starter fertilizer will help optimize production (30-50 lbs./acre of N). Harvest approximately 60 days after planting or when peas begin to flower. Chop and ensile properly--can yield 5+ tons of dry matter per acre. Average yield is 2 tons per acre dry matter.
