Persist Orchard Grass - seeded by broadcasting

We 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!
