Profile
This mixture is especially suited for dry and heterogeneous soils. COUNTRY Field forage 2481 is drought resistant because of its deep roots and can be conserved as silage or hay. The high content of Alfalfa in combination with Cocksfoot, Meadow fescue, Festulolium and White Clover delivers good yields with a high nutritional value.
-
High protein forage
-
For light and heterogeneous sites
-

All organic mixtures are produced with 100 % organic content, if possible, in accordance with the EU Organic Farming Regulation 2018/848. For mixtures with at least 70% organic content, the farmer must obtain approval from his inspection body for the use of the conventional content before sowing, starting with production in January 2022. We aim to use at least 2 varieties per ripening group for mix proportions of more than 20 % of one species and for German ryegrass. The choice of varieties may vary depending on production. If individual species or varieties are not available, they are replaced by equivalent ones. The seed strengths are calculated for an optimal seedbed; in case of poor external conditions - such as insufficient seedbed, late sowing date, insufficient nutrient supply and unfavourable weather - the seed strengths should be adjusted upwards.
