Forage Production
Seeding rate
-
Drilled (7.5” rows): 80–120 lbs./acre (can be planted as high as 150 lbs.)
-
Seeding depth: 1”
Planting window: At least 4 weeks before first killing frost
Fall Fertility requirements: A small amount of nitrogen or manure is recommended. If planted following corn silage, little to no fertility may be required. There is a direct correlation to increased top growth when added nutrients are applied at time of planting; however, it is usually not required.
Spring Fertility requirements: Spring application of 30-50 lbs. per acre of nitrogen should be applied after dormancy.
Cover Crop / Grazing
Seeding Rates
-
Drilled: 40-50 lbs./acre
-
Broadcast: 50-60 lbs./acre
Planting window for cover crop and spring grazing: At least 2 weeks before first killing frost.
Planting window for fall grazing: At least 6 weeks before first killing frost.
