Over recent years soft wheat has become increasingly common as a forage plant both for producing silage and for producing hay, thanks to the excellent quality features of the green plant. To use wheat successfully as forage, the variety must be chosen carefully, especially so as to maximise yields. The desired features are above average height, excellent tillering ability, very leafy, very healthy plant, short awned spikes.

For example, in a location with a plant-available precipitation of 550 mm and a target yield of 6.7 t/ha, the preferred plant density for a variety with an optimum ear density of 540 ears/m² and an optimum of around 2.0 - 2.25 ears per plant would theoretically be in the range 215 to 270 plants/m², say 240 plants/m² (to reach the desired 540 ears/m²) ...
