Mixture Components
Spring Oats
Spring oats jump quickly out of the gate and with adequate moisture and will be ready to graze in 45-55 days. They may winter kill if temperatures stay in the teens for several days.
Triticale
A cold-tolerant small grain with a wide leaf that grows in cooler weather, providing forage in mid-winter.
Ryegrass
Ryegrass produces a massive fibrous root system, tolerates traffic and provides quality yield in mid-spring through early summer.
Planting Instructions
Drill at 0.5-0.75” depth. Calibrate your drill to ensure you have an accurate rate. Broadcasting is not recommended due to the size of the triticale and spring oat seed.
