Quality Grass seed Mixtures - Countrywide Farmers

after Maize Mixtures
Establishing grass after an early forage maize harvest can provide early production in the following spring thus
maximising output of fodder per acre. The species used are short term and very vigorous enabling them to
cope with the later planting date. Crops established this way can be cut or grazed in the following spring and
then returned back into maize or left down for the rest of the year. The other benefit of this technique is that
the grass helps stabilise the soil surface and helps to prevent soil run off, whilst reducing the levels of fertiliser
leaching after periods of high rainfall.
