Orchardgrass
Due to worldwide seed shortages some seed mixtures and items have been modified or are unavailable in 2022.
Orchardgrass is one of the best forage grasses available on the market. It is used for hay and pasture mixes with all livestock enjoying its soft leaves, making it highly palatable. Orchardgrass is a cool-season bunch grass that produces very thick and dense stands in most growing climates. For increased palatability, cut at the heading out stage.
