Planting a Cocktail Mix as a Nurse Crop for Permanent Pasture

July 10, 2018

Check out the video below as Jeremy Sweeten discusses his new seeding of peas, radish, oats, Frosty berseem clover, Renovator Special, and sorghum-sudangrass - all of which is a cover/summer/cover crop for his permanent pasture of Milkway Meadow Fescue plus STF-43 Soft Leaf Tall Fescue and Gallant Red Clover, along with Aberlasting Clover. This mix was seeded in the spring of 2018.

The goal is to have a grazable forage crop/cover crop with a permanent pasture coming up right behind it, which will be ready to graze in the spring of 2018.
