An elite perennial ryegrass x meadow fescue cross type, developed for improved forage quality, yield, and persistence. Sugarcrest is a top performer in Cornell variety trials. Outperforms most tall fescues with superior palatability and fiber digestibility with improved persistence over other perennial ryegrass types.
TUATURA
FORAGE PLANTAIN
Tuatara, a perennial grazing herb
delivering minerals and improved
liveweight gains. Year-round dry matter
contributor. Source of key minerals Robust cooler season growth. Ideal in wide climate range & fertility. Extended seasonal production.
DELLS
MEADOW FESCUE
Dells Forage Meadow Fescue exhibits all the usual characteristics found in meadow fescue like high forage quality, superior winter hardiness, and tolerance to wet soils. Dells is well adapted to the Upp Midwest and Northeastern US cold winters with ongoing testing for its adaptation in other regions.
FOREMAN

TWISTER
HYBRID BRASSICA
Twister is a hybrid rape x turnip cross species developed for forage and cover crops. These hybrid plants produce a highly palatable green top which is why they are often referred to as a leafy turnip. When used for forage they work excellent in grazing mixes with winter annual small grains or spring planted oats and Italian ryegrass.
ARID
SMOOTH BROME
Arid smooth brome is an ideal choice for climates where tall fescue and orchardgrass have problems with persistence. Arid is drought tolerant and is not affected by temperature extremes. Arid has excellent forage yield, producing 5 tons in a 2 year trial at the University of Kentucky.
CHAMPAIGN
MEADOW BROME
Champaign is a newly released meadow brome variety with excellent seedling vigor, high forage yields, drought tolerance and rapid regrowth. Meadow brome can be used for grazing and hay production with excellent quality and palatability suitable for all classes of livestock and wildlife. It is a long lived, cool season perennial with short rhizomes.
JACKPOT
FORAGE TURNIP
Jackpot is a new erect-growing forage turnip with multiple crowns and a firmly anchored round bulb suitable for grazing and cover crops.
