Seeding Rate for pasture/hay field renovation varies according to the quality/quantity of the forage in the field
- Pastures: 20-40 lbs/acre (20# if pasture is very good, 40# if pasture is poor)
- Alfalfa Hay Field: 3-5 lbs/acre
- Clovers can be added at no more than 1-2 lbs/acre
Method of Seeding:
Use of a Brillion seeder, a no-till drill or a culti-packer is ideal. Seed to soil contact is vital to having a successful stand. Take caution to not plant the seed more than 1/4" deep. Each of these grasses needs proper management on initial grazings and weed control to offer the best pasture
