Description
Coldgrazer 45
- A mix of 85% Coldgrazer Rye and 15% annual ryegrass, built to add 45 days of extended grazing over a straight stand. Fills the winter void and replaces expensive haying operations.
Advantages
- Grows 12°F colder than Wheat, common Rye, or Ryegrass.
- Wheat stops growing at 52°F soil temperature, Coldgrazer Rye continues to grow down to 40°F soil temperature.
- Grows 30 days longer into the fall and starts growing 30 days earlier in the spring. Matures earlier than wheat, making it ideal for earlier double cropping (Oats in spring).
- Produces a much Higher Forage Yield than Wheat, common Rye, or Ryegrass.
- Higher protein test than wheat.
- Annual ryegrass rounds out the stand, adding an extra 45 days of grazing window on top of what Coldgrazer Rye gives you on its own.
Recommendations
- The Coldgrazer Rye in this mix comes from seed production fields alternatively sown with multiple varieties for cross pollination, thus considered a strain cross. Wheat does not cross-pollinate.
- Plant 100 lbs. per acre.
- Planting depth: 1-½” – 2″
- Plant from September 1 through November 15.
- Split fertilizer application recommended. ½ in fall, ½ in spring.
