Pasture Seed

Depending on seed availability, native seeds can ship as quickly as the next business day.

There are many reasons to use a pasture blend. Some of these include:

• Establishing new pastures
• Re-seeding existing pastures
• Improving forage grass diversity
• Extending your grazing season
• Improving livestock nutrition

Pasture blends can be a great choice for any acreage. Some of the benefits include:

• Enhancing soil health
• Reducing erosion
• Supporting wildlife and pollinators
• Diversifying nutritional profiles
• Reducing inputs
• Enhancing extreme weather resilience
• Improving pest and disease resistance
• Increasing biodiversity

To prepare your site for planting a pasture seed blend, follow these instructions:

1. Plant a cover crop to eliminate future weed pressures. 
2. If planting a cover crop is not feasible, ensure a weed free seedbed with either mechanical or chemical termination of existing vegetation.
3. Plant your grasses when soil temperatures reach 65 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. If weed pressure is minimal, you can also plant forbs and legumes.
4. Plant forbs and legumes once grasses are established and weed pressure is minimized. 

You can use a drilling or broadcasting method for planting seed.

No, irrigation is not required, but it is helpful to provide your pasture seed blend with irrigation during establishment.

If irrigation is available, fill the soil profile to field capacity prior to planting. After planting, frequent shallow watering is recommended until the seedlings are established and have begun to develop a secondary root system. During these waterings, there should not be water standing or running off at any time.

Once that secondary root system is well established, reduce the frequency of waterings and increase their depth. After full establishment, the only time irrigation will be needed is during dry spells when active growth is needed.

How long it takes pasture grass to mature depends largely on the type of seeds you are planting. Most species will germinate in ten to fourteen days if soil temperatures are above 65 degrees Fahrenheit and have adequate soil moisture.
