For Abundant
Winter Feed Plant
Abundant Annual
Ryegrass
Cereal Rye is a great
double crop tor follow
ing up corn or sudan
grass, but what if there
was something that
yielded just as much
and had better quality’
According to Tim Fritz,
Forage Agronomist for
Ampac Seed Company,
there is such an option
The product is
Abundant Tetraploid
Annual Ryegrass
“High feed value is
directly related to fiber
level. The fiber level of
Abundant Annual
Ryegrass is low, result
ing in a very high
energy forage,” says
Tim “When compared
to cereal rye, the yields
are similar, but forage
quality is superior with
Abundant Abundant is
a milking cow quality
forage that will reduce
feed costs ”
More and more farm
ers and nutritionists are
realizing that annual
ryegrass, especially tet
raploid annual ryegrass,
generally has better
feed value than cereal
rye Futhermore, in
recent trials, Abundant
out-yielded cereal rye

ensure optimal yields.

September and return a

expect two more size
able harvests in the

grass crop
