Sorghum Sudan (13%)
Plant Type: Warm Season Grass
Seed Quality: Common #1. Standard
Why In The Blend: The most valuable plant species in the blend. Sorghum Sudan is C4 grass, which allows for rapid biomass production in hot summer conditions. Sorghum Sudan has the ability to capture sunlight atop the canopy. Reduced lignin content and higher forage digestibility than corn makes it ideal for winter feed.
German Millet (5%)
Plant Type: Warm Season Grass
Seed Quality: Common #1. Standard
Why In The Blend: Longer growing season than most millets. Extremely vegetative. Waxy leaf surface is ideal for winter forage. C4 grass accumulates biomass throughout the summer.
Buckwheat (2%)
Plant Type: Warm Season Broadleaf
Seed Quality: Common No. 1 Standard
Why In The Blend: Due to its non-mycorrhizal association, root exudates are very good at solubilizing phosphorus. Beneficial to pollinators. Rapid establishment.
Sunflower Black Oil (2%)
Plant Type: Warm Season Broadleaf
Seed Quality: Common #1. Standard
Why In The Blend: Flowers attract a large array of beneficial insects. Beneficial at solubilizing minerals in soil profile. (zinc)
S-01 Super Oats (8%)
Plant Type: Cool Season Grass
Seed Quality: Certified No. 1 Standard
Variety: S-01 Super Oats
Why In The Blend: A low-lignin oat developed for cattle feed in 2006 by the Crop Development Center at the University of Saskatchewan and released to Super Oats Canada Ltd. These oats features a high-oil, more digestible groat that provides greater energy density for livestock compared to other oat varieties.
Haymaker Oats (10%)
Plant Type: Cool Season Grass
Seed Quality: Certified No. 1 Standard
Variety: Haymaker
Why In The Blend: Great nutrient scavenger due to dense fibrous root system. One of the most mycorrhizal-dependent cereals.
Flax (1%)
Plant Type: Cool Season Broadleaf (Linum)
Seed Quality: Common No. 1 Standard
Why In The Blend: Highest mycorrhizal fungi-dependent plant. Having a small percentage in the blend helps promote the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi network.
Forage Peas (32%)
Plant Type: Cool Season Legume
Seed Quality: Common No. 1 Standard
Variety: 40-10
Why In The Blend: Forage pea varieties focus on smaller seed size & increased biomass - rather than on grain yield. Rapid growth & establishment.
Purple Top Turnip (1%)
Plant Type: Cool Season Broadleaf (Brassica)
Seed Quality: Common No. 1 Standard
Why In The Blend: Highly nutritious brassica (digestibility & protein). Tuber scavenges nitrogen and other nutrients for slow release decomposition the following year.
Fenugreek (2%)
Plant Type: Warm Season Legume
Seed Quality: Common No. 1 Standard
Why In The Blend: Fenugreek is a fast-establishing annual warm-season legume that provides nitrogen fixation to the system when conditions are hot and dry.
Soft White Wheat (8%)
Plant Type: Cool Season Grass
Seed Quality: Certified No. 1 Standard
Variety: Sadash
Why In The Blend: This is a popular soft white spring wheat variety in Canada known for its high yields and quality. It has short, strong straw and excellent standability.
Italian Rye Grass (5%)
Plant Type: Cool Season Grass
Seed Quality: Common No. 1 Standard
Why In The Blend: We introduced a longer season IRG for 2025. Highly digestible with vigorous regrowth. Less chance of over-winter, unlike annual ryegrass. A fibrous root system is excellent for compaction.
Hairy Vetch (3%)
Plant Type: Cool Season Legume
Seed Quality: Common No. 1 Standard
Why In The Blend: Hairy Vetch holds the highest nitrogen fixation capabilities of any legume species we grow in Western Canada. Sunlight opportunist due to its creeping growth characteristics. High protein feed source. Regrowth.
Forage Barley (8%)
Plant Type: Cool Season Grass
Seed Quality: Certified #1 Standard
Variety: Conlon
Why In The Blend: Forage Barley adds a cool-season cereal for increased diversity above and below the canopy.
