If you didn’t look at reseeding last spring, this autumn could be an ideal time to invest in your forage quantity and quality.
What are the benefits of reseeding?
- Improved yields
- Higher DM intakes
- Enhanced disease resistance
- An earlier turnout of stock
- Increased stocking rate
- Increased palatability and digestibility
- Improved grazing and silage quality
- Higher response to nitrogen (N) fertiliser
In order to maximise the yield and quality of your forage, it is important to reseed regularly. Within several years, weed grasses will ingress into a sward – resulting in a reduction of digestibility, feed quality and responsiveness to fertiliser applications.
Wynnstay offer a wide range of grass seed mixtures to help producers maximise forage potential. As an independent company, we use the best grass varieties, selected from the Grass and Clover Recommended List for England and Wales. We’re in control of the whole process from start to finish; from seed production with our own grass seed growers, to seed cleaning, right through to formulating and mixing our mixtures, and delivering them direct to farm.
