New Forage and AD crops guide out now

Our new Forage and AD crops guide for spring 2027 is now available, bringing together the latest variety information, technical guidance and practical considerations to support planning for the season ahead.

Choosing the right maize variety is about more than yield alone. Location, soil type, field aspect, maturity and end-use all play a part in finding the right fit for your farm. The new guide brings these considerations together to help growers make informed variety choices for forage, anaerobic digestion (AD) and grain maize.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • Guidance on choosing maize varieties for different markets and growing sites

  • The 2026/27 Forage Maize Descriptive List

  • Tried and tested varieties alongside newer options for the 2027 season

  • Practical maize agronomy and nutrition guidance

  • Advice on maize for forage, AD and grain

  • Guidance on under sowing maize and managing maize stubbles

  • Information on hybrid rye, fodder beet and grass options

Whether you’re reviewing established favourites or considering something new for spring 2027, the guide provides the information to help you plan with confidence.
