One of the potential benefits of winter canola in the southern Great Plains is that of a forage. It has the same growth cycle as winter wheat. It is planted in the fall, over winters as a rosette and begins its reproductive growth in the late winter early spring. If sufficient foliage is produced the producer should be able to realize some gain through using winter canola as a source for grazing during part of its vegetative growth cycle. This study looked into the potential forage production and the nutritive values of winter canola in Kansas. Initial data indicate that the production of forage is quite variable and the nutritive values are similar to some what better than winter wheat.
