triticale harvesting

weekendfarmer

I saw in the front of last weeks IFJ a farmer sowing triticale.

He said he was was going harvesting it in 14-16 weeks.

How is that done ? can it be round baled?

We used to do it years ago, but would sow it late and strip graze it in winter

Not sure as this will be my first year growing it, triticale/lupin mix.
IMO your better sowing grass on its own.
