SF Greenland

The new benchmark for forage rape

SF Greenland is a high yielding forage rape that can be used by dairy, beef and sheep producers to produce high quality feed in any season where moisture during growing season will allow.

Due to its late flowering, SF Greenland is well suited to sowing during late summer until spring. It is consistently producing high yields when sown for either winter or summer feed.

SF Greenland is fast becoming the rape of choice for producers looking to improve their profitability from growing forage rape.
