New Forage Crops
Plot to examine new forage crops. In this 10-acre section, we examine and present a variety of crops that may be incorporated into the crop cycle and serve as new forage crops. Among other crops to be examined are moringa, sesame seeds, scabious and quinoa. Also, in this section, strain tests in common commercial crops in our area will be conducted.
