High Quality Forage Potential

Winter hardy, deep rooted blend that has the potential to produce high tonnage and superior fiber digestibility as grazed or harvested forage. Winter survival of the annual ryegrass in this blend requires the mix to be planted in regions south of the 43rd parallel, or in areas with USDA hardiness zone 5 or higher (farther south). The survival of annual ryegrass in that region is not a guarantee but chance of survival increases where winters are milder.

  • Plant after corn silage or small grain harvest: best window is 2 weeks before to 2 weeks after Hessian fly-free date for wheat
  • Forage-type triticale and winter hardy forage annual ryegrass (2N)
  • Deep rooting characteristics to combat hard pan/compaction
  • For best quality, harvest at flag leaf; for best tonnage, harvest at dough stage
  • For grazing, begin at 6″ height and maintain height of 8-10″

Planting Date: Aug 15-Oct 15

Seeding: 50lbs/acre for cover crop; 100lbs/acre for forage harvest

Our cover crop mixes solve a variety of challenges for farmers. We combine nitrogen fixing and biomass producing species specially chosen to maximize cover crop benefits and complement a diverse crop rotation. These mixes will improve soil structure, add and scavenge nutrients, compete with weeds and simplify the seeding process. We are also happy to work with you on custom cover crop blends that will fit any rotation, field, or soil type.
