Timothy
- Superior for hay or grazing
- Early maturity
- Great palatability
- Perfect for pure stands or with legumes and other
grasses
- Improved summer regrowth
- Excellent spring vigor
- Superior leafiness
- Very winter hardy
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.
Orchardgrass
For Maximum Persistence Under Grazing
- Superior forage yield
- Ideal for pastures or hay
- Early maturity
- Great palatability
- Selected for persistence under heavy grazing
- Excellent plant vigor
- Drought tolerant
- Stem Rust resistance
- Maximum persistence for haying or grazing
- Superior yield
- Late maturity
- Stem Rust resistance
- Great palatability
- Perfect for alfalfa or clover mixes
- Increased stand persistence
- Excellent plant vigor
- Responds to irrigation
Tall Fescue
- High-yielding, endophyte-free variety
- Excellent hay and pasture variety
- Perfect for winter stockpiling
- Very good persistence and drought tolerance
- Wide area of adaptation
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.
Ryegrass
- High Feed Value
- High Persistence
- High Yields
- High Palatability
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.
- High Yields
- High Quality Forge
- Very Palatable
- Great for Pasture o Silage
- High Disease Resistance
- Fast establishment of dense stands
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.
- High forage quality
- Good persistence
- Excellent seedling vigor
- Good grazing tolerance
- Adapted for hay, silage and grazing
- Rapid establishment
- Traffic resistant
- Improved digestibility
- Disease resistant
- Better summer yields
- Tetraploid
- Perennial
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.
Canarygrass
- Leafy, high-yielding, perennial forage grass
- Widely adapted
- Performs well on wet, poorly-drained soils and soils with a pH below 6.0
- Very drought tolerant variety that can be used for hay, silage or pasture
- Low alkaloid
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.
Sorghum-Sudangrass
- Small seeded and thin stemmed type
- Dark green color with Green Top trait
- Anthracnose and Downy Mildew resistant
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.
- High Yield
- Ideal for pastures
- Great for horses and other livestock
- Excellent palatability
- Good for interseeding thin alfalfa
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.
