Abstract
Dairy industry strategies have demanded feeding systems with high productivity and high quality. A 45 t DM/ha annual target for feed production was addressed. Six crop sequence treatments were established in large plots (40 x 12 m) at Lincoln, Canterbury, in the first year of a 2-year experiment to determine practical upper limits for yield. Keywords: dairying, supplements, forage quality, nitrogen, water use
