Hancock's Pasture Ryegrass is a medium maturity, westerwold type, tetraploid annual ryegrass. It was selected for fast establishment, along with balanced production through the growing season. Hancock's Pasture Ryegrass Seed outperformed the most commonly used varieties in many trials across the southern United States.
Hancock's Pasture Ryegrass went through a rigorous selection process in both the southeast and Oregon. Disease resistance and yield were the primary focus of the selection process. In Florida, the focus was resistance to crown rust (puccinia coronata) and vigorous post-harvest regrowth. Selection criteria in Oregon was resistance to stem rust (puccinia graminis), tiller density, forage and seed yield potential.
Hancock's Pasture Ryegrass has good resistance to crown rust and a vigorous regrowth after harvest. Hancock's Pasture Ryegrass is extremely high yielding in early cuts, an excellent choice for fast-establishing, short-term grazing, and green chop production. This blend also has an improved cold tolerance over other tetraploid varieties. It can be sown alone or in combination with fall-sown forage cereals and annual clovers. Hancock's Pasture Ryegrass is our no. 1 choice for providing a cost-effective, high-quality forage for livestock.
Ryegrass is a cool season variety, plant once nighttime temperatures are consistently 65 degrees and below.
Remove all old vegetation to prepare a clean seedbed. Drag the area to both loosen and level any hard or uneven spots if needed. Apply a slow-release starter fertilizer at the recommended rate. Fertilize your pasture three times a year for best results.
Broadcast seed at recommended rate. Drag or roll lightly to cover the seed, no more than 1/4 in. below surface. If you are overseeding an existing pasture, it is essential to mow existing grass low and incorporate seed 1/4 in. into the soil for best results. Apply irrigation for approximately 30 minutes every evening until soil is damp, and germination has occurred.

United StatesEveryone was asking me where I got my rye seed from. The big box store rye wasn't comming up like the stuff I got from Hancock. It must have been good and fresh.
Escellent! Happy to hear that the ryegrass seed outperformed the others. Thank you for your review and for choosing Hancock Seed!
United StatesOur mini ranch utilizes Hancock Seed every year, twice a year. The customer service, products, prices and shipment have always been wonderful. This is why we keep coming back!! Thank you!!
Awesome! We are so happy to hear this and we appreciate your continued business. Thank you for your review and for choosing Hancock Seed!
United StatesThis variety of ryegrass grew ok and produced fairly good leaves. My horse eats it just fine. However, it does not grow as vigorously as the previous version I normally use (out of stock). I tried this as an alternative since the regular variety I purchase was out of stock. It did grow and produced OK, but the other version seems to be more hardy. I will switch back and order earlier in the season next time.
Glad that we were able to provide an alternative even though it was not your first choice. Happy the horse is eating eat! Thank you for your review!
