ORCHARDGRASS

A top-rated, very late-maturing orchardgrass. Alpine II is able to produce high quality, disease-free forage later in the season, making it the industry’s go-to for very late orchardgrass, especially as a companion crop with alfalfa, red clover or other legumes. It exhibits strong seedling vigor, quick establishment, and high winterhardiness.

A medium maturity variety simply bred for big yields. Bighorn shows industry-leading seedling vigor and quick establishment for great first year yields, as well as excellent disease resistance that adds to the variety’s great persistence. Bighorn’s maturity fits a wide range of geographics, management types and is a workhorse in our orchardgrass lineup.

Bred to withstand the stress of intensive grazing systems which can be detrimental to more erect hay-type varieties. The lower growing pattern and lower leaves on Devour, enables it to persist under grazing and mechanical harvesting. Quick to establish and recover after harvesting, outcompeting weeds for higher-quality, higher-yielding pasture.
