Triple cropping Triticale, Sorghum-Sudan and Alfalfa, Dutch Meadows Dairy

Dutch Meadows Dairy in central Michigan triple crops triticale, a winter annual after corn silage, harvests about 6 ton/acre as-fed of silage in late May, seeds sorghum-sudan, a summer annual and harvests 4-5 tons/acre in early August, then seeds alfalfa by August 15. Triticale and sorghum-sudan make great feed for far-off dry cows and heifers. This cycles manure nutrients through the cropping system, maintains an active root system throughout the year, and provides three windows of opportunity for manure application: 1) after corn silage, 2) after triticale harvest, and 3) after sorghum-sudan/before alfalfa.
