Forage & Pasture Seed Frequently Asked Questions

What is high quality forage?

High-quality forage is characterized by its nutritional value, palatability, and digestibility for grazing animals. It typically consists of a balanced blend of grasses, legumes, and forbs that provide essential nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals to support animal health and productivity.

What is low quality forage?

Low-quality forage refers to forage that lacks nutritional value, palatability, or digestibility for grazing animals. It may contain high levels of lignin, fiber, or undesirable plant species that reduce its overall quality and effectiveness as a feed source.

What’s the best pasture seed for my climate?

The best pasture seed for your climate depends on whether you're in a warm, cool, or transitional climate zone:

• - Warm Climate: Grasses like Bermuda, bahia, and crabgrass thrive in hot climates, providing abundant forage during the summer months.
• - Cool Climate: Cool-season grasses such as Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue, and orchardgrass are well-suited to cooler climates, offering lush, nutritious forage during the spring and fall.
• - Transitional Climate: Transitional climate zones may benefit from a blend of warm and cool-season grasses to ensure year-round forage availability and resilience to fluctuating temperatures.

What is the fastest growing grass seed for pasture?

Teff grass is known for its rapid growth and high productivity, making it an excellent choice for pasture establishment and quick forage production. Our teff grass product is specially selected for its superior germination rates, drought tolerance, and nutritional value, making it a valuable addition to any grazing system.

Can you seed a pasture without tilling?

Yes, you can seed a pasture without tilling using our no-till pasture seed products. We recommend no-till spring seed mix.
