Ethiopean cabbage is a brassica with a hard erect central stem that remains upright during the winter. It provides control of several parasitic nematodes, and is excellent at trapping snow in the winter. It is less palatable than most other brassicas for livestock forage. Pure stand seeding rate 5 lb per acre, optimum planting depth is ¼-1/2 inch, and optimum planting date is August to early September.

Potentially long-lived nitrogen-fixing perennial legume with a significant taproot and purple flowers. Adapted to fertile, deep, well-drained soils. Intolerant of poor drainage, high water tables and acidic soils. The world’s most well-known and widely used perennial forage legume for pasture, hay, silage, green-chop and rangeland. Excellent forage yield, quality and palatability. Seed alone or in mixed grass pastures; establishes easily. High bloat potential; use caution when grazing. Also use for wildlife habitat for grazing ungulates, geese, grouse and other wild birds. Primarily pollinated by leafcutter bees and many types of native bees; honeybees are reluctant pollinators. Winter hardy, rhizomatous and multifoliate (MF) varieties available.

Short, Cool season, perennial native bunchgrass sometimes forming a sod. Occurs at high elevations in northern latitudes from 4,000-12,500 ft. Prefers mountain meadows, bogs and streambanks in well-drained to poorly drained soils. Provides good forage that stays green throughout the summer and late season. Used to revegetate roadsides, ski slopes and mines.

Medium statured, relatively short-lived nitrogen-fixing perennial legume with pale pink to white flowers. Not a hybrid, despite its name. Adapted to a wide range of soil types, including sites too acidic for Red clover (T. pratense); more alkaline tolerant than most clovers. Prefers wet sites, tolerating waterlogged soils and up to six weeks of flooding. Winter hardy, able to survive at northern latitudes and high elevations. Use for hay, pasture and soil improvement on Cool, wet sites. Plant with Timothy (Phleum pratense) or Meadow brome (Bromopsis biebersteinii) to improve hay production and prevent lodging. Excellent nectar and pollen source for bees, especially honeybees.

Cool season, robust annual or short-lived perennial that may develop short rhizomes. Commonly occurs on wet sites such as ponds, swamps, ditch banks, shallow marshes and sloughs. Prefers clay soils; tolerant of saline soils. Shallow-rooted and able to colonize denuded wetland soils, making it excellent for riparian reclamation. Seeds are eaten by migratory birds. Palatable and frequently used for hay or grazing.

AgriPro is leading the way in the development and delivery of superior wheat seed genetics in North America. Each year more than 2,000 new experimental lines are generated and tested across 25 research and testing sites in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota. Only the very best of these experimental lines are advanced as potential AgriPro varieties. AgriPro varieties offer high-yield potential, good test weights and high-quality grain. Wheat producers like the consistency that AgriPro varieties provide under a wide range of conditions.

 Arrowleaf clover is an annual, Cool season, introduced legume commonly used in many areas of the the United States for many applications and uses. This upright clover easily re-seeds and reaches heights of 3-4 feet.    Flowers May to October with white bloom color. Suitable for hay and grazing. Excellent food source for deer and other wildlife. Seed in the fall for following spring growth. Prefers well to moderately drained soils. Begin grazing at heights of 5-6 inches. High nitrogen fixer. Low heat and drought tolerance.

Extremely productive, nitrogen-fixing winter annual legume with small white-pink flowers. Grows on heavy clays to moderately sandy soils. Tolerant of acidity; mildly tolerant of salinity. Mature plants are tolerant of waterlogged soils and short periods of flooding. Prostrate, hollow stemmed plants form a dense, highly productive mat of extremely palatable forage. Use as cover crop, pasture, wildlife food plots, hay or silage, either in a monoculture or mixed with other species. Germinates quickly. Persists even under continuous, intensive grazing. Readily reseeds itself when allowed to set seed. Attractive pollinator and honeybee plant.

Basin wildrye is a large, coarse, robust, perennial bunchgrass. Basin wildrye clumps may reach 3 feet in diameter and 3 to 6 feet tall (10 feet under excellent soil and climate conditions). The growing points are 10 to 12 inches above the crown. It is a long-lived Cool season native with an extensive deep coarse fibrous root system.Native to the Great Plains and Intermountain regions of the western United States, Basin wildrye occurs in moist to dry sites including wet meadows, valley bottoms, flood plains and hillsides. It is very winter hardy and has a rather broad climatic adaptation. It grows best in areas with average annual precipitation of 8 inches to above 20 inches.

Fast growing annual legume with yellowish-white flowers. Shallow taproot grows well in all soil textures except sands. Tolerant of wet soils and alkalinity. Superior nitrogen-fixer. Non-bloat, high protein forage with excellent palatability that meets or exceeds the quality of Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) and Crimson clover (T. incarnatum). Use in rotations for grazing, hay, silage, green manure, wildlife food plots or cover. Also use to enhance companion crops, especially alfalfa. Winter kills easily. Use as a summer and fall annual in northern latitudes and a winter annual in southern latitudes.
