Abstract
Winter canola is primarily grown for seed production in the inland Pacific Northwest. However, early seeded winter canola may also be utilized as a forage or silage crop. The effect of grazing and swathing on seed yield is dependent on the time of planting and biomass harvest. In some instances, grazing and swathing have been shown to decrease seed yield, while in other instances there is no negative effect. Canola forage tends to be high in protein and low in fiber and should be supplemented with additional high fiber forage. In the correct circumstances, grazing or swathing of winter canola biomass in the fall prior to seed harvest can increase gross revenue.
