20.0 kilos per acre/50.0 kilos per hectare

A 1 year mixture designed to produce large amounts of forage in a relatively short space of time. Although formulated to provide one big cut, there will be some regrowth from this mixture for a second smaller cut or aftermath grazing and with the high legume content (vetch, crimson and red clover) this mixture will also act as an excellent soil improver, releasing large amounts of nitrogen into the soil when ploughed in.

14.0 kilos per acre/35.0 kilos per hectare 

This mixture is formulated to produce a large crop of hay or silage in a relatively short space of time (around 12 weeks from sowing). It will respond well to nitrogen and can be aftermath grazed if required.

Like the 1 year ley, this mixture is designed to produce large cuts of good quality hay or silage. Its speed of growth will be slightly slower than the “Short Term Express” but is formulated to last 2 years rather than just 1 year. Again, it will respond well to nitrogen so is ideal for high input regimes.

With a good balance of Hybrid and Perennial Ryegrass, this mixture will produce high quality forage whether cut or grazed. If grazed, the sward will be fully productive for around 3 years but if cut, it should last well into a 4th year. Will respond well to bagged nitrogen applications.

Red Clover is becoming a popular option in medium term leys, giving annual yields significantly higher than white clover. The clover rich sward that this mixture will produce is suited not only to producing high quality hay or silage, but also excellent, highly palatable grazing, ideal for cattle grazing and lamb fattening (although not breeding ewes due to the high oestrogen levels in the Red Clover). The Red Clover may need “topping up” especially if the ley is going to be used into a 4th year.

Ideal for overseeding either damaged pastures or ones that are showing signs of wear, this mixture can be direct drilled into the existing sward or can be broadcast and will help to extend the ley for a further 2-3 years. If broadcast, for best results, the sward should have just been cut or grazed. A passing of a chain harrow will open up the sward and then after broadcasting the seed, a roller (preferably a ring roller) should be used which not only presses the seed into the soil but also re-firms up the surface creating a better environment for the seed to germinate into.

This mixture option is based on the results of considerable research and is designed to encourage pollinators and other insects through the inclusion of multiple species and a long flowering period from April until August. The advantage of legumes as a food source for pollinators is also now recognised and this mix means we can do more of our bit to encourage pollinators and sustain food production.

The inclusion of multiple legumes is advantageous as it has been proven to also significantly improve forage yields.

This complex mixture builds soil fertility and reduces fertiliser reliance.

Herbal leys are an excellent provider of a balanced natural forage that will give good animal performance in terms of liveweight gain or milk production. Many of the these herbs also contain trace elements that have been shown to have good health benefits for the stock that are grazing on these leys.

Whilst recent trends have been towards simple mixtures containing 3 or 4 varieties of ryegrass with a couple varieties of clover – a herbal mixture on the other hand contains a diverse combination of species which all contribute to the sward.

Even though these mixtures tend to be more expensive in comparison to conventional ley, this mixture improves the performance and health of the animal.
