Producing a balance of NDF to ADF and good levels of protein our mix ensures good feed for stock in even the toughest of conditions. 20WAY scores very low on the grass stagger index. Planting in Autumn or Spring.

Benefits

  • Contains 20 varieties prompting synergistic interactions
  • Bulk dry matter (DM) production
  • High level of Metabolisable energy
  • High protein levels
  • Can be sown in Autumn or or Spring
  • Provides good feed in tough conditions

REBOOT SEED MIX™

Reboot is a High yielding, High Dry Matter (DM) producing mix providing strong remedial benefits without compromising on your feed production. Reboot is a perennial pasture based mix. Reboot ensures high levels of vegetative growth to be used for grazing or soil re-entry via mulching & cultivation. Over the course of its life reboot will increase nitrogen levels, sub-soil fungal activity and water retention capabilities. REBOOT is a well balanced mix that also suits horticultural situations where compaction and pollination are also issues.

Benefits

  • Proven high soil carbon sequestration
  • A medium to long term regenerative seed mix
  • Bulk dry matter yields for grazing or soil re-entry
  • Significantly alleviates compaction
  • Good winter activity 

SOILBUILDER SEED MIX™

Suitable as a stand alone annual crop or for annual undersowing, Soil Builder mix is focused on revitalizing the soil without using large quantities of synthetic fertilizers. This mix allows the soil to breathe and aerate as well as increasing organic matter and nitrogen levels. Encouraging synergistic interactions between plants and soil, the use of cereals, herbs, legumes, chenopod and brassica ensures soil health benefits as well as leaving perennial base for future sowing. Seed to soil contact is vital when implementing sowing strategies.

Benefits

  • Stand alone, annual crop or for undersowing
  • Stimulates sub-soil microbiology
  • Encourages synergistic relationships between plant and soil
  • Produces high quality bulk Dry matter
  • Best for conditioning your soil before you add perennial crop 

SUMMERFEED SEED MIX™

Designed as an annual summer crop with the ability for multiple regrazing, this mix provides feed in both quality and quantity. This mix is highly palatable with the bulk of its growth occurring in late spring and early summer, followed quickly by regrowth after subsequent grazings. This mix is a punchy, short term feed option providing large quantities of dry matter in a short amount of time. Leaving with perennial base.

Benefits

  • Annual summer crop providing multiple grazings
  • Bulk dry matter (DM) in early Summer
  • Highly palatable
  • Great flexibility allowing multiple grazings
  • Quick regrowth post grazing 

WINTERFEED SEED MIX™

The winter feed mix is a short term, annual crop that will provide high levels of dry matter with an opportunity for regrazing after the initial feed. Although this mix has an annual base, the legumes and herbaceous species allow this mix to keep producing through first grazing, meaning multiple feeds late in the season. This helps bridge the gap between traditional winter crops and springtime growth.

Benefits

  • Annual winter crop providing multiple grazings
  • Contains winter active legumes
  • Produces bulk feed with the option to re-graze
  • Provides greater flexibility than traditional winter crops
  • Adds flexibility around re-sowing timing
