We do not recommend mixing diploid and tetraploid varieties as this can lead to uneven conditioning of the sward, therefore we only use diploid varieties. • excellent resistance to foliar diseases • Outstanding yields for both hay and haylage with late season grazing • timothy improves summer palatability and colour of the mown sward A traditional style mixture based around the use of non aggressive grass species like meadow fescue, timothy and meadow grass. These species formed the basis of very early re-seeding mixtures of pasture land in the early 1900’s, long before intensive farming was the norm. With the advent of farming policy reviews over the last few years, there has been a resurgence of interest in the more extensive ways of producing meat. The following mixture was designed to fill the gap between the more progressive dairy farmer and the land manager who is looking towards lower input and a more environmental approach to farming. The following mixture will make very good hay useful for a winter feed for many types of animal. • Can be grazed, made into hay or haylage • Will tolerate very wet conditions and with the addition of smooth meadow grass will withstand the worst affects of summer heat and drought • Wild flowers may be added to the above provided they are not toxic to grazing animals
fOdder CrOps Forage root crops play an important role in livestock diets. They can produce high yields over a relatively short growing period and can contribute substantial amounts of fresh fodder when grazing may be scarce. Dry Matter Yield T/Ha FODDER BEET Fresh Yield T/Ha High yield potential and is grown as a main root crop. The roots have excellent feed quality and are very palatable. The tops can also be utilised. SOWING PERIOD Late March to end of April UTILISATION October – March PRECISION DRILL 50,000 seeds depth 2.5/3.0cm alpes – Very clean root which ensures less waste. 67% of root in ground so allows easy lifting. Good resistance to bolting. blaze – High yielding excellent dry matter yields with clean red roots. Easy to harvest. Can be fed whole. eNerMax – HIgh energy beet for fodder and biogas. kyrOs – Easy to harvest and clean root. Highly palatable and easily digested. High yielding. MaGNuM – High dry matter yields with high proportion of clean, white root in ground. Exceptional bolting and rust resistance. Dry Matter Content % Crude Protein % FORAGE RAPE Very quick growing crop suitable for grazing by sheep or cattle. Can provide valuable autumn and winter grazing feed. Excellent break crop. Can be utilised between 13-15 weeks from sowing.

Good resistance to powdery mildew. sparta – Another new introduction to our portfolio, Sparta is a high yielding, late flowering rape with the huge advantage of having clubroot tolerance, enabling it be sown where clubroot is a problem and there are no alternative sowing sites. iNterval – Exceptional yield potential, disease resistance and palatability. Ideal for fattening lambs or flushing ewes. 19
