long lasting permanent reseed

cute geoge

I have 10 acres of silage ground and 10 acres of grazing to reseed later on .I just want to know what brand of seed is proven to last .I am sick of seeding ground that the flourish dies out after 4 or 5 years .I have some ground seeded 30 years ago that is superior to ground done 6 years and it is not for the want of fertiliser.Can you get any of these old reliable seed any more

My ground would good land but heavyish like it would only be suitable for grazing when weather dries mostly 1st of april .It would be stocked tight ,rotation of 24-28 days .Silage would be 3 cuts ,manure 2 -3 bags of cutsward and slurry for each cut .No intention of Italian or hyrid seed for silage.

You would need a silage mix for the silage if you look for 3 cuts and maybe get a good grazing mix that has plenty of diploids in it as it will bind the heavy ground together

I think you've experience Reggie with the Tipperary seed mixes?

Neighbour of mine only uses them.

They mightnt be the fancy top varieties. But I think they treat the seed with mycorrhizal fungi? It's treated with something I think anyway.
Neighbour gets on great with his. They'd be top notch pastures.

Yeah it's the main seed in these parts and only seed I'd use here. They spend alot of time testing thier mixes and have great knowledge of them.

Near had any issue with agritech seeds once sown even in the height of the severe droughts

Tipperary grass No4 A is the main all rounder mix

The neighbour here in the drought of 2018 was able to continue grazing away. It was as green as.

I've never used them myself.

Ya may start. Its coated with a growth enhancer to help the seed to get going. Not sure what's in the coating tho

Sinclair mcgill Castle Hill is a good long term mix suitable for silage and grazing. I use it every time I reseed and it seems to last well. The seed is dressed against disease too.
