Why Plant Triticale?

[@christinacook9433]

Triticale grows very well up here in Manitoba's Interlake region. However, it doesn't like to be in standing water as the frost comes out in spring. It is very grazeable until it starts shedding pollen.

Is triticale winter hardy enough to survive a northern Minnesota winter? Zone 3a, 40 beliw temps? How does deer like it?

[@Keith_Berns_GreenCover]

Yes, if you get the right type of triticale it will survive... but like any crop, it will depend on more than just temps... snow cover, wind, moisture, etc.. all will effect its survival. I would recommend the Forage FX 1001 which was developed in Montana. It is very palatable for all livestock groups.
