Timothy
Summit Timothy
Summit is a new early-type timothy with maturity similar to Clair and 10 days earlier than Climax. Summit was bred for higher yields, faster spring green up and better summer regrowth. Summit is ideally suited for pasture mixes, especially when used with alfalfa. Summit can tolerate moderate continuous grazing, but does best under rotational grazing. Summit is the hay and pasture grass of choice for horse owners and others who demand high quality forage.

Extend Orchardgrass
Enhance Tall Fescue
Enhance tall fescue is endophyte-free, eliminating concerns that animals feeding on it will develop feeding disorders like fescue foot, bovine fat necrosis or fescue toxicosis. Enhance can be utilized in pure stands or in combination with legumes such as white clover, red clover, alfalfa or lespedeza. It also makes outstanding hay when harvested prior to maturity. Stubble height should be 3 to 4 inches when grazed or hayed. Tall fescue maintains nutritive value better than other cool season grasses, which allows growth to be "stockpiled" in the field for winter grazing. Tall fescue can be grown successfully on a wide range of soil types and can tolerate pH levels from 4.7 to 9.5.
Gain Festulolium
Gain is a high yielding festulolium ideally suited for silage and pasture production all across the United States. It is a fast starting, high forage quality grass and can be mixed with legumes or used as a pure stand. It may be used as a companion crop for establishing alfalfa, reed canarygrass, or other slower starting grasses to provide faster ground cover.
BOOST Perennial Ryegrass
BOOST is a medium maturity, new perennial ryegrass with remarkable yields and vigor. BOOST is endophyte free and fast to germinate and establish. It has strong spring and fall growth and is a great choice for mixing in pasture, silage and hay mixtures. BOOST shows strong rust and leaf disease resistance. 
BESTFOR Intermediate Ryegrass
BESTFOR can be used for hay or silage production, as well as intensive grazing, with excellent results. The fact that BESTFOR is suited for haying as well as grazing makes it very useful in mixtures with other grasses and legumes. Compared to other hybrid ryegrasses, BESTFOR has better disease resistance, and the regrowth after cutting has very few stems, which results in extremely high forage quality. BESTFOR is the perfect choice for spring or fall overseeding of thinning pasture and alfalfa stands to increase productivity.
Marathon Reed Canarygrass
Marathon has short rhizomes that spread, creating a dense sod. It has greater winterhardiness and is more resistant to foliar disease than other cool-season grasses. Use Marathon for hay, silage or pasture. When cut for hay or silage, quality is optimal before seed heads appear, and then rapidly declines. Forage yields are excellent in the spring and early summer and are fair to good in late summer and early fall. When used as pasture, grazing Marathon down to 3 to 4 inches above the ground will make the best utilization of the forage. Allow the grass to recover before regrazing, always keeping the grass below 12 inches tall during rapid spring growth.
Greengrazer V - Sorghum-Sudangrass
Greengrazer V is a new small seeded three way cross with thin stems that are highly palatable. Regrowth after cutting is very fast. Greengrazer V is a dark green color and also possesses the Green Top trait, which allows for further extension of the plant. Planting Greengrazer V at higher populations will result in a finer stemmed forage. Finer stems will allow the forage to dry faster for higher quality hay than is possible with thick stemmed types.
Dessie Teff Grass
Dessie Teff Grass makes the ideal hay for horses with great palatability, digestibility, high iron and calcium content and an attractive green color. It tolerates drought conditions as well as wet soils. Dessie is a low input crop with few disease or pest problems and doesn't require large amounts of fertilizer. |
