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.

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. 
Duo Festulolium
Many are familiar with ryegrass and some are aquainted with meadow fescue. Duo Festulolium is familiar with both. Duo was selected as a cross of the best festulolium material available. It looks like ryegrass, digests like ryegrass, is palatable like ryegrass, but is heartier. Due to a parentage that includes meadow fescue, Duo can better tolerate summer’s intense heat and winter's frigid cold. In evaluations throughout the country, Duo continues to show excellent performance and persistence. It also appears to have a longevity that exceeds most ryegrasses. Duo is like ryegrass...but BETTER!
Grand Daddy Perennial Ryegrass
Grand Daddy Perennial Ryegrass is the top choice for progressive livestock producers. This new-generation forage perennial ryegrass is bred for highly productive pastures and hay. A premier forage grass, perennial ryegrass provides cattle, sheep and horses with highly digestible, nutritious forage. Ryegrass is the cool-season grass species that provides the highest level of animal performance when performance is measured as milk production or average daily gain. Because Grand Daddy is endophyte free, it is an excellent cattle and horse forage. It has also been bred with resistance to the principal diseases that infect lesser perennial ryegrasses, including rust, leaf spot, blight, mildew and brown patch. Any of these foliar diseases will reduce for/age quality, animal palatability, and ultimately, animal forage intake and performance. Grand Daddy can be relied upon to produce high-quality forage very rapidly, given adequate rainfall and cool growing conditions. It is an excellent component for pasture mixes, makes an excellent grass silage and produces extremely palatable hay. Its rapid growth provides excellent fall grazing, as well as superior production in the early spring. 
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. |
