Annual Ryegrass
• An annual variety of ryegrass that is used for hay or pasture mixe
• Production potential and its overall vigor is much less than the Tetraploid Annual Ryegrass

Crown Royale Orchardgrass
• Variety that is a medium-late maturing orchardgrass with high nutritional value, good disease resistance, excellent palatability, and good forage yield

Fawn Tall Fescue
• A variety of Tall Fescue that has been developed to provide superior performance in seed and forage production, increased nutrients, digestibility, and improved seedling vigor
• This variety also has very low endophytes
• Planting Rate Per Acre: Alone 20-25 lbs; In a Mix 4-10 lbs Planting Depth ¼”

Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue
• A deep-rooted perennial bunchgrass that is widely adapted to various soil types
• Is tolerant to summer drought but makes its best growth in the spring and late fall
• Fescue can create problems when pasturing due to endophyte (fungus).

Linn Perennial Ryegrass
• Not as vigorous or productive as the Tetraploids
• Is used primarily in lawn and pasture mixes

Moretim brand Timothy
• A tall, fine stemmed, and quite leafy; leaves are carried high on the stems
• Matures 7 to 10 days later than common timothy
• A vigorous, heavy producer under good fertility
• Recovers quickly and is highly resistant to rust
• Widely used short-lived perennial; used mainly for hay
• Produces a very palatable hay, but is low in protein and some minerals
• Especially desirable in a mixture with legumes such as red clover and alsike
• Planting Rate Per Acre: Alone 7-10 lbs; In a Mix 2-6 lbs
• Planting Depth ¼” - ½”

Nordic Bromegrass
• This variety of bromegrass is carefully selected from the best lots to give high purity and high germination seed
• Is a hardy perennial and sod forming grass
• Has considerable drought resistance and grows until late fall when moisture is available
• Will also stand one or two floods in the spring
• Can be seeded alone or in mixtures and is especially recommended as a mixture with alfalfa
• Planting Rate Per Acre: Alone 20-25 lbs: In a Mix 6-12 lbs Planting Depth ¼”

Potomic Orchardgrass
• Early variety of orchardgrass that is very productive and persistent
• Also has good rust resistance.

Quick Draw Orchardgrass
• Variety was selected for its superior yields, palatability, and
resistance to leaf and stem rust
• Provides excellent early spring forage for grazing silage or hay
• Is adapted to the Midwest, Northwest and Northeast regions of the United States

Super–Graze Orchardgrass
• Medium maturing orchardgrass suited for pasture and hay
• Excellent pest resistance and high yields
• A tall perennial bunch grass
• Should be mixed with other grasses and legumes for best results
• Sometimes used for hay, but is preferred for pastures when seeded in a mixture because of its early and late season growth
• Not as winter hardy as bromegrass, but will stand more heat, drought, and low fertility to provide more summer growth
• Planting Rate Per Acre for orchardgrass: Alone 10-12lbs; In a Mix 4-6 lbs Planting Depth ¼”

Tetraploid Annual Ryegrass
• Has a history of good performance in a wide range of climates
• The seed is large, which improves seedling vigor
• Compared to annual ryegrass, it has greater seedling vigor, darker green color, wider leaves, more production, and a longer grazing season
• Is an excellent choice for hay or pasture mixes

Tetraploid Perennial Ryegrass
• Has demonstrated good disease resistance, hearty seedling vigor, and superior yields
• Superior to diploid ryegrasses because scientists have genetically doubled the chromosomes to increase the leafiness and carbohydrate content; the result is a more palatable and nutritious forage
• Planting Rate Per Acre for Ryegrasses: Alone 25-35 lbs; In a Mix 10-20 lbs Planting Depth ¼”

Waterway & Grassland Mix
• Mixture of five grasses is superior to seeding straight bromegrass because of quick establishment and longevity
• The four other grasses will germinate quickly and hold the soil until the Bromegrass becomes established
• Excellent all purpose grass mix
• Waterway & Grassland Mix contains:  (33% Nordic Bromegrass, 17% OroVerde Tetraploid Perennial Ryegrass, 17% Fawn Tall Fescue, 17% Tetrastar Tetraploid Annual Ryegrass, 16% Moretim Timothy)
• Planting Rate Per Acre: 25 to 50 lbs.

Waterway & Grassland Pre-Mix with Oats
• Consists of 30% Waterway & Grassland Mix (see above) and 70% oats
• Planting Rate Per Acre: 80-100 lbs
