Maximum-Yield Two Year Silage Ley

Ref: mixa

Optimum balance between the highest quality and yield for silage. Maximum-Yield produces the all important first cut, usually between the second and third week of May. At this time the grasses will have high D-values and a high soluble carbohydrate content which ensures good silage fermentation. As well as offering a potential major saving in silage additive, this improves palatability and therefore the profitability of winter milk production.

	Cocksfoot for light land (2 Kg) £11.90/Acre
	Vetches (10 Kg) £34.50/Acre
	Bottom Grass (2 Kg) £11.10/Acre The addition of ‘bottom’ or ‘grazing-type’ ryegrass can help to fill out the sward in more upright, open leys.
	Festulolium (2yr) (2 Kg) £9.30/Acre Include festulolium to improve yield performance on drier or poor soils, lasts for 2 years. Commonly used with, or instead of italian ryegrass.
	Red Clover (1 Kg) £10.90/Acre Add red clover to your mix to increase nitrogen fixation and yield, and to diversify your clover content
	Timothy for heavy ground (2 Kg) £15.00/Acre One of the most important and flexible species which is used both environmentally and agriculturally. It will grow abundantly on heavy ground and, although it only has a shallow root structure, it still persists well on lighter land in dry years. Timothy is a very persistent and hardy grass, free of disease. It is palatable to most classes of stock.
