Tired of the way rye heads out and loses its
quality so fast in spring? Would you like to have
a rye that becomes denser and leafier after
cutting/grazing instead of becoming stemmy?
Would you like to have a ryelage that tests 26%
protein with RFV of 175? (200 RFV at grazing
height.) Try Barenbrug Green Spirit Italian
Ryegrass blend!
Also works great no tilled into Alfalfa fields in
✓ Extremely high feed value (RFV as high as 200!)
✓ Higher feed-value and better payability will increase animal
performance
✓ Higher dry matter yields per acre
✓ Later maturity, makes less seed-heads

More and more research proves the added
value of annual or Italian ryegrass over small
grains. Research being done by Don Schwarz in
Keedysville, Maryland shows the advantage of
annual and Italian ryegrass over Triticale.
Quality
The quality of ryegrass is better than any
small grain. It shows that 30 inch tall Green
Spirit has a higher quality (TDN and NEL) than
30 inch tall rye.
