Warm Season Grass

Mycorrhizal dependent: Yes

Water Use: Low

Comments: 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.

Warm Season Grass

Mycorrhizal dependent: Yes

Water Use: Low

Comments: Longer growing season than most millets. Extremely vegetative. Waxy leaf surface ideal for winter forage. C4 grass.

Warm Season Broadleaf

Mycorrhizal dependent: No

Water Use: Low

Comments: Due to its non-mycorrhizal association, root exudates are very good at solubilizing phosphorus. Beneficial to pollinators. Rapid establishment.

Warm Season Broadleaf

Mycorrhizal dependent: Yes

Water Use: Low

Comments: Flowers attract a large array of beneficial insects. Beneficial at solubilizing minerals in soil profile. (zinc)

Cool Season Grass

Mycorrhizal dependent: Yes

Water Use: Medium

Comments: Great nutrient scavenger due to dense fibrous root system. One of the most mycorrhizal dependent cereals.

Cool Season Broadleaf (Linum)

Mycorrhizal Dependent: Yes

Water Use: Medium

Comments: Highest mycorrhizal fungi-dependent plant. Having a small percentage in the blend helps promote the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi network.

Cool Season Legume

Mycorrhizal dependent: Yes

Water Use: Medium

Comments: Forage pea varieties focus on smaller seed size & increased biomass - rather than on grain yield. Rapid growth & establishment.

Cool Season Broadleaf (Brassica)

Mycorrhizal Dependent: No

Water Use: High

Comments: Highly nutritious brassica (digestibility & protein). Tuber scavenges nitrogen and other nutrients for slow release decomposition the following year.

Warm Season Legume

Mycorrhizal Dependent: Yes

Water Use: Medium

Comments: Fenugreek is a fast-establishing annual warm-season legume that provides nitrogen fixation to the system when conditions are hot and dry.

Cool Season Grass

Mycorrhizal Dependent: Yes

Water Use: Low

Comments: We swapped Forage Barley (awns) for Soft White Wheat for the increased palatability.

Cool Season Grass

Mycorrhizal Dependent: Yes

Water Use: Medium

Comments: 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.

Plant Type: Cool Season Legume

Mycorrhizal Dependent: Yes

Water Use: Medium

Comments: 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.
