Grazing Blends
Small grain blends are an excellent choice for livestock grazing. By combining complementary species, these blends provide abundant cool-season forage while helping extend the grazing season for cattle, sheep, goats, and other livestock.
Hay & Silage Blends
Blending multiple small grains can improve forage production and harvest flexibility. These blends are well-suited for hay and silage operations, offering dependable tonnage and quality forage for beef and dairy producers.
Cover Crop Blends
Small grain blends are commonly used in cover crop systems to improve soil health, reduce erosion, suppress weeds, and increase organic matter. Their rapid establishment and diverse growth habits make them a valuable addition to conservation-minded farming practices.
Wheat, Oats, Barley, Rye & Triticale
Our small grain blends may include proven varieties of wheat, oats, barley, rye, and triticale selected for their complementary growth habits and forage potential. The exact blend can vary depending on your production goals, planting conditions, and intended use.
Choosing the Right Small Grain Blend
Every operation has different forage needs. Planting date, livestock species, harvest plans, irrigation availability, and soil conditions all play an important role in determining the best blend. Our team can help recommend a blend that fits your management program and production goals.
Built for High Plains Growing Conditions
Small grain blends are an excellent choice for livestock grazing. By combining complementary species, these blends provide abundant cool-season forage while helping extend the grazing season for cattle, sheep, goats, and other livestock.
Extended Seasonal Forage
By combining multiple small grain species, these blends can provide a longer window of forage production than a single crop alone. The varying growth habits of wheat, oats, barley, rye, and triticale help create a more consistent supply of high-quality forage throughout the cool season, giving producers greater flexibility in their grazing and harvest plans.
