Forage Type Tall Fescue -
used for its palatability, excellent spring vigor, deep root system which produces a tough sod when seed thickly and grazed or mowed. It is tolerant of poort drainage, and is also drought resistant. Production of forage is abundant with irrigation and high fertility levels. Forage Type Tall Fescue is adapted to a wide range of soil and climatic conditions.
Tetraploid Perennial Ryegrass -
Palatable and nutritious cool-season bunchgrass often used on lowlands, soil with poor drainage, and on acidic soils. Does well in cool, moist regions with mild winters. Grows well on heavy soil. Tolerates heavy grazing. Tetraploid ryegrass are more vigorous, leafy, drought resistant and palatable than diploid varieties. Produces early vigorous growth.
Timothy -
Winter hardy bunchgrass is easy to establish, and is well known for a premium horse hay. Adapted to fertile, moist, medium heavy soils of the Pacific Northwest. Responds rapidly to fertilization. Mixed well in combination with other grasses and legumes. Timothy is easy to establish, used extensively for revegetation of tired pastures.
Annual Ryegrass -
Very similar to perennial ryegrass, except it is an annual grass. Germinates rapidly and provides early growth. Used extensively for pasture, hay, silage and cover crops. Adapted to a wide range of soil conditions. Palatable, tolerates heavy grazing.
Clovers -
Its high nutritive value and palatability make it a popular choice for pasture mixtures. Mixes well with grasses and is used for hay, grazing and soil improvement. Fit well into 3 to 4 year rotations.
