Persist is easily established, has excellent seedling vigor, and is persistent, as its title suggests. Persist will have good adaptation throughout all regions of the United States where Orchardgrass is grown, but will be especially productive and persistent in the southern portion of the mid-southern states.

Product Information
Persist Orchard Grass Seed is a six-clone synthetic originating from a seed collection made from six-year old or older stands throughout Tennessee. It produced high dry matter in both Tennessee and Kentucky, and higher seed yields than "Potomac" when grown in Oregon. It is similar in maturity date to Potomac.
Persist Orchardgrass is recommended to plant North of Atlanta
Combine with Red Clovers, Ladino Clover or Alfalfa for Hay production.
Plant between spring and fall at a rate of 15 to 25 lbs. per acre. Plant at a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 in. Ensure that soil pH is between 6.0 and 7.0. We recommend planting Persist Orchardgrass north of Atlanta.

United StatesPersist orchard grass is the best performing seed we've ever purchased...well worth the cost!
Great news! So happy that you are experiencing such great results with the Persist Orchardgrass! We are sure you will love it. Thank you for your review!
United StatesPlanted the grass a couple of weeks ago and it is up and doing well. Have gotten plenty of rain just need some warmer temperatures.
Thank you for the review Robert. Hoping for warmer weather soon too!
United StatesI have not yet planted the seed.
We look forward to hearing about the success once the seed is planted -Thank you for your review!
United StatesWe prepared the seed bed with Tractor 96" gear driven tiller. We broadcast the seed at 25 lb. to acre and we covered it with a cultipacker and a chain link fence drag. This was also seeded at the same time with Endorfine Free Fescue. Seeded in fall of 2018 and in the summer of 2019 we cut it with a haybine 8" above ground level. We were not as concerned with the harvest as we were with not injuring the Orchard Grass in its first year of growth. We were totally elated with the germination, the stand and the production that we received given the parameters that we used for harvesting. In the late summer of 2019 we fenced part of the hay field off and turned our Black Angus onto it and used it as one of our grass paddocks. They loved the grass and especially the hay this winter. We will be purchasing more Persist Orchard Grass seed from Hancock this year and putting more fields into this combination of Endorfine Free Fescue and Persist Orchard Grass. We are located in the Mountains in the Northeast end of Georgia. We had a severe drought in 2019 but it handled it real well. Our main "Hay Product" is Tifleaf3 Pearl Millet seeded in late April and harvested 9" above ground level (66 days) after seeding. Then when it gets back up to 15" or so, we use the fields as Paddocks for our Angus Beef Cattle. This continues until the first frost. The cattle think that it is Cotton Candy both as grass and hay. We cut it that high above ground to reduce the size of the stalk in our hay making the hay largely leaf hay with 1-2" of stalk to hold it together. This also allows for quick recovery for the cattle to graze.
Oh, wow! We have Tifleaf 3 available in the Spring as well. Let us be your Go-To for your seed needs all year round. Thank you for your review!
United StatesYour service as always is great. I've used you for the last 3 yrs However you send these review at just days after receiving product. The question you asked is "How was your overall experience using the item?" You should know it takes the correct time and weather, preparing of the ground, care and time to grow and then the time for the product to do its job of hay, feed, lawn for visual effects So I don't understand the rush for someone to make a false statement. I personally would like to see other honest farm reviews and opinions on these products also. So if you want a good answer contact me in 6 months
We understand your frustration with this! We will try to correct this. Thank you for choosing Hancock Seed.
