Evaluation of Perennial Forage Mixes for Hay or Pasture. 

This project will provide farmers and ranchers with performance information on mixes of a number of perennial grasses and legume species and varieties. The mixes will be compared to select groups of pure grass and legume stands. Mixes have not been typically studied in traditional trials even though most hay and pasture stands seeded in Alberta are a multi-species combination. Results will assist producers in selecting perennial forage stands with high production and nutritional potential.

This project will be seeded this spring. Watch for results as they become available in early 2021.
