Ducks tip
- Proper pre-seeding, weed control and site preparation will aid in the successful establishment of forage crops. Site preparation should leave the seed bed firm for accurate seeding depth control with good seed to soil contact.
- Seeding a cereal crop, achieving good weed control and leaving 4 to 6 inches of standing stubble post harvest will help with seed bed preparation. The result: a healthy, well established forage crop for hay or pasture. Contact your nearest Ducks Unlimited Canada office to find out more.

Managing your grasslands 
A green pasture puts green in your jeans!
If you run cattle, healthy grasslands are important to your livelihood. In addition to agricultural and economic benefits, they also help wildlife.
Well-managed grasslands are a sustainable source of forage and water for your livestock. Improving these resources contributes to the daily weight gain of your cattle.
Ducks has a variety of programs designed to assist you in creating a profitable operation.
Forage Programs
Are you making the shift from growing grains to beef production? Do you want to add forages to your crops? Perhaps you are expanding your herd, or are returning marginally-productive lands in grain production to perennial cover.
If you have questions about forage production, Ducks has answers—and programs to help with the transitions. We offer sound advice and, in some cases, cash incentives to producers and landowners.
Discover what forage programs and incentives are available for you!
