Have had some good results with chicory sown with pasja and rape aswell =
as with didfferent grasses. It tolerates wet feet extemely well and can =
be sown quite early.
If you want some really good information on chicory try Peter Nottman in =
poowong, im sure you will find him to be a great help.

  Hello all,

  How are people fitting Chicory in to grazing systems?

  Over the years, we have had variable success with turnips and pasja on =
red soils at Ellinbank. Had the chance to talk with a =
Longwarry/Ripplebrook farmer recently who reported good results from =
chicory as a multi grazing fodder crop sown with perrenial rye (I =
think?).

  What sorts of sowing/grazing regimes have people used successfully?
