How fodder beet’s use has evolved based on farm experiences and research findings | Ep. 31

Fodder beet offers many benefits as an alternative crop to brassicas, but it also presents risks and challenges.

And do we have all the answers or is there more research required? In this episode DairyNZ senior scientist Dawn Dalley summarises recent research findings, and North Canterbury dairy farmer and veterinarian Trish McIntosh joins us to share her experiences of using fodder beet.
