What Our Customers Say
  • "

    The Cleancrop Leafy turnip was remarkable resulting in very few Fathen weeds across the whole paddock leading to an amazing crop. We were lucky to get good rain in December that helped the crop overall. There were very little weeds the following autumn when we sowed Reason AR37 perennial ryegrass which is an added benefit with the Cleancrop Brassica System

    The cattle loved it and transitioned smoothly; now the girls sit and wait at the gate when moving paddock during the summer feed rotation. Importantly though, milk yields stayed consistent over the summer, which is what we set out to do with this product.

  • "

    We planted Cleancrop Leafy turnip in a paddock as a trial looking at production and weed control. The weed control has been excellent and the amount of dry matter grown is outstanding. Our lambs ate the crop well and have been putting on 300 grams a day. Compared to our normal pastures in late autumn/early winter Cleancrop Leafy turnip is a lot more productive and giving us excellent weed control and the same time.
