Pairing perennials proves profitable – Thys and Erin Gorter, Mobrup

The success Erin and Thys Gorter are having with their lucerne and chicory combination is thanks to the couple's strong focus on grazing management. The decision was made to sow lucerne basically because a legume was needed to feed the chicory. The combination of lucerne and chicory is not ideal - it is a bit tricky but it is highly palatable to livestock and highly productive for the bottom line.
