Ref: MIXCGO6. Persistent, high yielding and cheap to grow, this ley is tried, tested and highly successful. It is usually cut in the third or fourth week of May and incorporates the best red clover with hybrid and perennial ryegrasses, giving yields nearly as high as our two year red clover ley, with twice the lifespan. Mixture Contents...

Ref: MIXQB. A very fast growing ley which can be sown in the spring or autumn and is primarily grown to produce silage. However, it can be grazed and the crop can provide 'early bite' when sown in the autumn. Spring sowings on fertile soils with adequate moisture perform well but expectations should be lowered on drought-prone land. Mixture Contents...

Ref: MIX9. This mix is devised specifically for the production of hay or haylage. Lasting two years, and with good disease resistance it produces a consistent sample of hard hay. It is principally a cutting ley but can be grazed. Sow in autumn to provide stemmy hay the following spring. Spring sowings result in soft, leafy grass unsuitable for hay production until the following year. Mixture Contents...

Ref: MIXCGO3. An intensive silage ley lasting for up to two years which requires little or no nitrogen fertiliser. First cut is to be expected during the third week of May. 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: MIXRG. ELS/HLS/CSS Codes: HK7, ED2
The mixture is suitable for sowing on most soil types ranging from clays to calcareous. The mixture provides grass for grazing or hay production. This long-term mixture is best sown from mid March until mid September. The small seeds should be surface sown onto a fine, firm seedbed and rolled. Mixture Contents...

Ref: MIXHM. This traditional hay mix is very long lasting, although slower to establish than a straight ryegrass ley, it will go on to provide good quality, bulky hay crops with low disease levels for many years. Once cut it can be used for aftermath grazing. Expect a high Timothy content and coarse hay sample. Speak to an adviser if you require a softer, green meadow hay type sample 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: MIXPGLM. ELS/HLS/CSS Codes: HK7
A slow growing and more manageable seed mixture for those with low requirements from permanent grassland. This mixture can be grazed periodically or topped to keep a tidy appearance. Sow between March and early May or August and late September. Mixture Contents...

Ref: MIXCGO9. A ley lasting for between two and three years to provide one large cut in mid June. The mixture has more 'bottom' than our other red clover leys and is therefore better for grazing later in the summer with sheep or cattle. Mixture Contents...
