Dairy producers report increased milk production when using Marshall Ryegrass over other winter forages. In addition, dairy & cattle producers report Marshall Ryegrass produces rich, green winter grazing much longer than other varieties - starts earlier in the fall and continues to give hearty grazing deep into spring. In Cold Weather tests from agricultural universities that included all leading annual ryegrass varieties, Marshall ranked #1 for winter hardiness in 22 out of 24 tests. Planting Information For Marshall Ryegrass Although conditions and methods vary from area to area, chiseling followed by disking generally prepares a good seedbed for most winter annual programs. It is best to eliminate surface vegetation and breaks up clods into a firm smooth seedbed. It is important that the seed come into contact with soil and receive sufficient light for seedling development. Seeding: A pasture seeder or grain drill does the best job and lets you cut the broadcast seeding rate by a third to a half. Generally, your planting should be shallow, not more than a 1/4” to 1/2”. It is important to firm the seedbed with a cultipacker or seed with a pasture seeder with a cultipacker attachment. Plant 25-30 lb. per acre. Fertility: Fertilizer and lime according to soil test recommendations. Distributed by Wetsel, Inc. Harrisonburg, VA WETSEL, INC.

Grazing: Overgrazing in the fall may reduce production in the spring when your cows need it most for milk production and rebreeding. Do not let winter annual pasture varieties get below three inches. And be cautious of undergrazing since it often results in lower nutrient values. Excessive accumulation of winter legume growth may often result in more winterkill.
