There are many producers looking at looking at ways to grow more forage for hay or pasture. Double cropping annual forages on irrigated cropland can be an option. With timely and adequate moisture, this can also be successful dryland as well.
Successful double cropping of annual forages requires good planning and timely operations. A common combination includes a cool-season winter annual like rye, triticale, or wheat that is currently being grazed or will be hayed in May or June followed by the planting of a warm-season annual forage. Similarly, something like oats that was planted this spring is followed by a warm-season annual.
