Kale
Kale n - A type of cabbage with crinkled leaves
Kale is typically sown in spring for a high yielding, single graze winter crop, grazed between June and August. The best yields are achieved when it is sown in highly
fertile soils with reasonable summer moisture levels. It is becoming increasingly popular as winter grazing for dairy cows because of its high yields (10-18 t DM/ha) and good ME value (11-12). Kale is deeper rooting and more tolerant of dry conditions than swedes.
Taller, higher yielding cultivars of kale are more suited to cattle grazing, while the shorter, leafier cultivars are more suited to sheep and deer. Kale is mostly tolerant of club root and dry rot, therefore it can be used as a second crop option.
