Herbage Mix No 8 Downland Grazing Ley (permanent grazing ley) A permanent grazing mixture recommended for the South Downs and other marginal areas. The wide diversity of species allows the ley to perform under adverse conditions and provides useful grazing for cattle and especially sheep. Suggested sowing rate 14kg/ac 1.0KG Nifty Intermediate PRG 4.0KG Boyne Intermediate PRG 3.5KG Cancan Late PRG 1.25KG Twymax Late PRG (t) 1.5KG Comer Timothy 0.5KG Sheep’s Fescue 0.9KG Red Fescue 0.45KG Smooth Stalked Meadow Grass 0.9KG Merwi White Clover Herbage Mix No 9 Protein Cut (two – three-year dual-purpose ley) This mix is not suitable for sheep grazing. The mix of red clover and hybrid ryegrass improves quality and persistence without loss of yield. Can be ensiled as a ryegrass sward with up to 3 cuts per season, followed by some grazing. Will do well on most well drained soils and is reasonably winter hardy. • First cut will take 50% of the red clover yield • High protein quality silage with long duration for grazing • Drought tolerant – suits light soils (not suitable for poorly drained areas) • Rotational advantage – excellent entry for wheat crop Suggested sowing rate 12kg per acre 4.5KG Solid/Rusa Hybrid 4.5KG Kirial Hybrid 3KG Global Red Clover
