IRRIGATED Seeding Rate: 80 – 120 LB / acre Seeding Depth: 3/4″ – 1 1/2″ Approx Seeds / LB: 10,000 – 14,000 Planting Dates: Mar – Apr, Aug – Oct
DRYLAND Recommendations vary based on location, moisture, soil type, etc.
GRASSES
TEFF GRASS
dryland areas
KEY ATTRIBUTES:
Annual crop with two, or possibly three, cuttings. Protein levels in teff hay are typically higher than common grass hay species, but are lower than alfalfa.
Timothy can be used with legumes and/or other grasses in seed mixtures for cover, filter strips, herbaceous buffers, waterways, and other critical area applications.
Seed mixture is designed to provide season long production. Meadow brome and Orchardgrass are more heat tolerant than Smooth brome and Garrison creeping foxtail and help capacity during warm summer months
A blend of drought tolerant varieties providing a high productivity pasture with quick establishment. Will give a boost to run down pastures. Suits low summer rainfalls
The primary use of orchardgrass is for pasture and hay forage production. It is highly palatable to all classes of livestock. It is one of the best forage grasses for use in the Northern states under intensive rotational grazing systems.
Annual ryegrass is an introduced cool-season bunch grass from Europe. Vegetative stems grow erect at first but may grow more horizontally as the plant produces a seed head. Natural reseeding is common
Harvest later than wheat. Maximum vetch kill when crop is in full bloom. If the vetch is strictly a cover crop, can be plowed under or killed with herbicides or a roller-crimper in a no-till setting, to form a weed suppressing mat.
Common vetches are an annual pasture/forage/grain legume, extremely palatable at all growth stages, from early green shoots, as dry matter/hay or silage through to seedpods and seeds over summer
Newest mustard release with purplish/red leaves and the highest glucosinolate production currently available. Vigorous growth with high leaf biomass and extensive root system. Good choice for organic or conventional growers with high disease and/or nematode pressure.
This game forage is a superb grain-based mix of triticale forage grain, oats, forage turnips and annual forage clovers. Plant in the spring or fall in most areas to grow palatable, high-protein forage all season.
Also known as cultivated radish, radish, oilseed radish, forage radish. Radishes are commonly used in cover crop mixtures and sometimes as monocultures. If planted early, quick growth can help suppress fall-emerging weeds.
Forages of the Brassica family are very useful for extending the grazing season when other forages are less productive. Brassicas can provide higher crude protein and digestibility at half the cost of hay or conserved forages.
This game forage is a superb grain-based mix of triticale forage grain, oats, forage turnips and annual forage clovers. Plant in the spring or fall in most areas to grow palatable, high-protein forage all season.
This leguminous forb produces excellent forage for livestock and wildlife. It is high in protein and highly palatable, although it may cause bloat. This species will decrease and disappear under persistent overgrazing.
