Background
Growing combinations of crops with consistent yields and high quality and that are cost-effective to grow and feed is important for driving productivity and margin over feed cost (MOFC) in inland dairy production systems. However, as forage cropping systems become a key component in many dairy businesses, it has been observed that the crop rotations selected tend to prioritise cow nutrition over agronomy considerations.
