We graze dairy cows here, and try out nearly all the varieties we sell with BG 34 Ryegntss being one of our favorites. Recent on-farm trials show that the cost involved with fall renovating a pasture with BG 34 PERENNIAL RYEGRASS is between $65-$lOO per acre. The extra spring growth of high quality forage made the milk production per acre more than double compared to the non-renovated pasture! At a milk price of $l2 cwt, an extra 900 pounds of milk per acre will pay for the expenses. In this particular trial, the costs were recouped after just two grazings In the first spring. All additional extra milk production in the season and years to follow is profit!
