Ref: MIXCM. A ley which provides good growth for early grazing or cutting. Developed on the thin, chalk soils of Wiltshire. It regrows powerfully through the spring and into the summer, giving an outstanding second cut yield. The ley tolerates dry conditions thanks to cocksfoot and red clover. Mixture Contents...

Ref: MIX20. Based on Newman Turner’s original recommendations, this all round mixture provides high quality, substantial forage for grazing and occasional cutting. It can provide grazing for early turnout and continues to produce forage through the summer and autumn. Containing deep-rooting ingredients, this ley not only improves soil structure but also draws up essential vitamins and minerals for the ruminant animal. Mixture Contents...

Ref: MIXCGO1. For over thirty years Pochon has proven very successful on a wide range of conventional and organic farms. This mix is suitable for taking a cut of silage, but is mainly for rotational grazing. Including the best strains of high yielding white clovers from Aberystwyth, it gives excellent mid-summer production without artificial fertiliser. Mixture Contents...

Ref: MIXCGO5. This mix is very long lasting and will tolerate harsh upland conditions. It is very palatable and is best when rotationally grazed to allow a period of recovery and regrowth. It can also be cut for silage or hay with the best quality forage coming from swards which are cut before heading. Mixture Contents...

Ref: MIXCL. This high-protein, mineral-rich & drought resistant mix combines chicory, clover and some ryegrass. It will last for three-four years. This mix was formerly know as the 'Lamb Finisher' mixture for good reason, it is ideal for fast weight gain. Bloat is virtually unheard of in lambs, but has been known in sheep and more commonly in cattle so vigilence is advised in these situations. Mixture Contents...

Ref: MIXHG. A longer term option for hay and haylage production with hybrid and perennial ryegrass. Diploid varieties have been included for faster drying. Timothy will provide good bulk from year two onwards. Sow in the autumn to provide a crop for the spring, it can also be cut earlier in the year to provide haylage. Once cut it will provide high quality late summer and autumn grazing. Mixture Contents...

Ref: MIXCGO2. Designed specifically for the dairy farmer wishing to produce silage and high quality grazing. This ley has an open growth habit allowing the white clover plenty of space to exploit.

Ref: MIXCGO8. Wetland areas are often difficult to manage, so it is very important to select species which suit heavier/wetter soils, and often long term mixtures are prefferred where regular ploughing is impractical. This mix contains long term, late heading & hardy grasses, white, red and alsike clovers to fill in the bottom of the sward, increase protein levels and fix all-important nitrogen. Mixture Contents...

Ref: MIXSPLT. This mix is a dual purpose ley, which provides a tough green cover around the panels and high quality grazing ley for sheep. It includes perennial ryegrass to aid establishment and produce a bulky sward that will benefit livestock. It will need to be over-seeded after year 5 to renew the quality of the grass and reduce low quality invasive species. Mixture Contents...
