This week, as part of the Irish Farmers Journal's Autumn Suckler Management series, we take a look at managing forage crops.

In this video, beef livestock specialist Matthew Halpin and Tullamore Farm manager Shaun Diver guide you through some simple sums that should be done to maximise the utilisation of forage crops. The total days feeding of a crop, as well as the daily allocation of the crop, are just some the things covered.
