What feed crops are normally intercropped and why?
Peas and oats, barley or triticale, or a combination of spring cereals with winter wheat, winter triticale or fall rye, are the two common types of intercropping. Peas are usually included in mixes to improve the quality of the feed. Fall or winter cereals are often intercropped with spring cereals to provide grazing after the initial crop is harvested, but may also be grown for feed quality reasons.
