Introduction Welcome to our Herbage booklet for 2023.
The mixes have been comprehensively put together to offer a selection that meet a range of requirements.
To help understand which mix will suit your needs, we have the useful flow chart below. Under each mixture name is a brief description of the mix, its components and suggested sowing rate. If none of our mixes quite suit your needs, remember we have the option to alter one of them, or to create a bespoke mix for you. We always aim to supply our mixtures as per the descriptions show. Occasionally, supplies of some varieties run out and it may be necessary to substitute the variety with one of a similar quality and growth habit. You will be advised of any substitutions via the bag label which has the constituents printed on it. Please call or email the seed department or your local agronomist for more information.

Herbage Mix No. 1 Early Bite & Cut ( one – two year cutting ley ) Sown in the autumn, this mixture combines the attributes of tetraploid and diploid Italian ryegrasses. The diploid maintains the high dry matter, while the tetraploid provides the soluble carbohydrate content. Giving one massive first cut of high-quality silage, it can then be ploughed in and followed by maize or linseed. Left in place, it can be grazed through to the autumn or give a second or third cut of silage if no other grass leys are available and it will also provide two/three cuts in the second year. It has also been successfully established after maize and produced the same excellent yields.

According to Wikipedia, an annual report is a comprehensive report on a company's activities throughout the preceding year. Annual reports are intended to give shareholders and other interested people information about the company's activities and financial performance. They may be considered as grey literature. Most jurisdictions require companies to prepare and disclose annual reports, and many require the annual report to be filed at the company's registry.

Herbage Mixture No 3 Prime Cut & Graze – ( three – four year cutting ley )
This mixture suits situations where early silage cuts are not possible, on wetter, low lying ground or to follow earlier Italian ryegrass leys. This mixture can provide a second cut of high-quality silage, if required, before being returned to the summer grazing ground.
Productive cutting ley with good autumn grazing Excellent conservation and grazing yields Good disease resistance and persistency Close heading dates to enable good quality and quantity of silage and prolonged grazing
