Planting a Cocktail Mix as a Nurse Crop for Permanent Pasture

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.
