Cutting Mixtures

The Supercut Mixtures are a range of high-quality high-yielding grass leys designed to maximise the potential for grass silage.

Where possible we have incorporated the festulolium species into the mixtures as the different varieties bring significant improvements in terms of yield, quality, and persistence. In addition, we have found these species to be particularly useful on stress-prone sites and in arable rotations as they have fewer herbicide resistance issues than Italian Ryegrasses.
