With the greater need for quality feed sources, cereal grains are becoming increasingly popular as forage supplements to existing perennial hay and summer annual acres. Many forage benefits are consistent across all cereal grains, but differences to exist in quality and tonnage based on proper management. When opportunity exists to plant early, warm season annuals provide large amounts of biomass while easing compaction, improving soil tilth and absorbing excess nutrients left behind from cash crops. These grasses provide quality forage for all classes of ruminants, and can be part of a planned cover crop program where the dual benefit of forage is the goal.

  • Kentucky Bluegrass Seed

    Kentucky bluegrass is a cool season grass that grows best during the fall, winter and spring months when temperatures are cool. Its growth slows during the warm summer months. Kentucky bluegrass prefers full sun, but will tolerate some shade. This species is used widely throughout the U.S. where it is well adapted, but it has a poor summer performance in areas with warm to hot temperatures. When stressed by temperatures, lack of water, or poor soils, Kentucky bluegrass can be susceptible to disease and weed invasion. It can tolerate cold winters, but has a relatively low tolerance for heat and is only moderately drought tolerant. During the summer months, if stressed for water, Kentucky bluegrass can go dormant. It has moderate wear tolerance, recovering quickly from some abuse.

  • Native Wildflower Seed & Pollinator Mixes

    Native wildflowers are also an important addition to many native grass plantings. Besides adding beauty to stands of native grasses, wildflowers are an important food source for game birds, song birds and mammalian wildlife as well as grazing livestock. We also supply CRP seed and custom CRP mixes.

  • Summer Annual Forages

    La Crosse Seed’s Summer Select® family of summer annual forages delivers innovative forage seed options to producers. We have partnered with top breeders to acquire what we believe to be the best genetics and most versatile summer annual portfolio available. The Summer Select® lineup features products with advantages including greater digestibility, disease resistance, standability and more. The Summer Select® Summer Annual forage portfolio includes proven, high-performance options for sorghum x sudangrass, forage Sorghum, grain sorghum, pearl millet and teff grass. Many varieties within our proprietary Summer Select® portfolio include the brown mid-rib (BMR) trait, which denotes improved digestibility and higher energy forage. Also within the lineup are varieties that include the brachytic dwarf trait, which assures greater leaf-to-stem ratio and improved standability.

  • Turf-Type Perennial Ryegrass Seed

    Ryegrasses were brought to the U.S. from Europe and are now grown and planted throughout the country. Ryegrasses (both annual and perennial) can be grown on their own in the northern states for lawns. In many areas of the country, largely because this grass is so versatile, it is incorporated in seeding mixes with other grasses. These bunch grasses have two basic types; annual and perennial. Each type is planted as a pure strain or used in mixes depending on the specific lawn use desired. Do not confuse these two kinds as being the same. They are adapted into lawns mainly for their fast growing ability as a cool season grass. Perennial is a permanent lawn choice in cooler climate areas, and annual is seeded yearly and lives for one season.
