While there is little known about grazing fodder beet in New Zealand based on scientific literature, there appears to be some information based on farmer experience. However, accessing this information is difficult because as far as I know a survey has never been undertaken in New Zealand to collect anecdotal evidence and information from farmers in regards to the management of fodder beet. If we can identify how farmers are currently managing fodder beet and link that to any issues they have had with the crop, this could help us to identify the areas that require more research and need more information to help understand what may be causing particular problems.
I have created a survey that can be found here. If you are a New Zealand farmer feeding fodder beet and would like to contribute to this survey, please fill out the form and either post or email the form to me as outlined in the document. I will have a summary of my findings available towards the end of April.
