Captain is a narrow-leaved, winter active plantain variety. Persistence trialling has shown Captain performs well as a component of a perennial pasture for the first 3 years. Captain has a very erect growth habit with narrow leaves, which complements the growth habit of ryegrass and clovers, making it an exceptional fit for multi-species pastures.

Herbs & Brassicas
Forage brassicas are high quality and yielding, fast growing crops that are particularly suitable for grazing by livestock. Both the tops (stems and leaves) and roots (bulbs) can be grazed and are very nutritious. Most members of the brassica family, such as turnips and rape, produce forage of exceptionally high digestibility (often 85-95%).
