Haymaster Orchardgrass is no longer produced. It has been replaced by newer varieties. We recommend Blizzard and/or Sundown as excellent, if not superior alternatives.
Haymaster Orchardgrass is a late maturity orchardgrass with excellent yield potential. Can be used for hay, silage, pasture, and is ideal for alfalfa or clover mixes. Has excellent disease resistance, high yield potential, great forage quality, and quick recovery after cutting. Rotational grazing is preferred for best production, persistence and quality.
