Kamloops Agricultural District Forage Manual


Forage production (hay, silage and pasture) is the most important crop in the Kamloops Agricultural District by any measure – greatest acreage, tonnage, crop value and total investment. The majority of the forage produced occurs on cattle ranches, whose major saleable commodity is beef. As a result, the importance of forage production is often overlooked, but considering the investment in land, irrigation equipment, farm machinery and labour, this crop should receive a high degree of management to optimize your return on investment.
