Brassicas & Warm Season Crops
Brassicas offer rapid growth and high-energy forage, making them a valuable addition to livestock grazing and regenerative cropping systems. With diverse set of genetics, they provide exceptional yield and quality while supporting soil health. Our warm-season broadleaf crops deliver fast growth and strong drought tolerance, while our field legumes enhance forage protein and nitrogen fixation for long-term soil productivity. Whether for stockpile grazing, winter feed, or soil improvement, these species help maximize forage output and land resilience.
Brassicas can provide very rapid growth potential combined with high energy. The Brassica family provides a diverse set of gene cs with great production value in terms of yield and quality.

Very early (65 day) silage or grain corn
-
Excellent option in short season poly mixture
-
Early season vigour and spring growth along with good energy
DL Dessert Corn
-
88 day very large corn hybrid for silage or fall grazing
-
Excellent in multi species mixtures especially for fall grazing
-
Supra Sorghum
-
Positioned as the next generation of sorghum, Supra features the following:
-
Cold tolerant trait - plant much earlier without crop stall - get going faster
-
Tillering - planted at lower rates, Supra has dramatic tillering capacity
-
Yield - Supra yields are incredible and often challenge corn
-
Drought Tolerance - Sorghum can produce similar production to corn with 30-50% less water
