Utilization, preference and nutritional value of winter-green agricultural crops for goose food
Present data are insufficient to permit final recommendations as to the best winter-green crop for geese of the sight crops studied. Italian rye grass appears, however, to have very good possibilities because of its good production of forage, its utilization and apparent high preference by geese cou...

It is also a relatively inexpensive field crop.
