FEATURED GRASSES<br />
RENK CARRIES ELITE VARIETIES OF THE FOLLOWING GRASSES:<br />
MINT FESTULOLIUM<br />
Festulolium is a cross between Perennial Ryegrass and Meadow Fescue, giving it several very<br />
excellent qualities: ease of establishment, persistence, rapid regrowth, good disease<br />
resistance, season-long performance and high forage quality. Don’t let the long name put you<br />
off. If you need a grass, use Festulolium.<br />
STOUT ORCHARDGRASS<br />
A late maturing variety that keeps its quality when seeded with alfalfa. Also does extremely<br />
well when frost seeded into a thinning pasture.<br />
TIMOTHY<br />
Fits well in clover and alfalfa mixes. Highly palatable. Horses love it.<br />
ANNUAL RYEGRASS<br />
Works well when seeding down with alfalfa at 3-5 lbs per acre. Very high palatability allows<br />
more milk per acre yields. Best as a cover crop.<br />
PERENNIAL RYEGRASS<br />
Ideal for long term pastures. High palatability and fast recovery allows for intensive grazing<br />
management and higher milk production.<br />
MEADOW BROME<br />
Quicker to establish than Smooth Brome and provides higher yields of more palatable forage,<br />
especially in the seeding year.<br />
Mint festulolium growing next to alfalfa.<br />
