This blend has been most successful when sown late in spring into good
soil moisture. It has a huge drymatter feed potential, particularly when put
into irrigated paddocks, but will perform equally well in dryland high soil
moisture situations where brassicas struggle due to heat, water logging or
insect pressure. Ideally suited to maintain weight gain in cattle production.

SOW smart™ pasture blends are “ready to sow” mixes of proven
grasses and clovers. They are the product of ongoing research and
development of the Seed Distributors forage crop programme aiming to
fulfil the requirements of farming for agronomically correct blends for
high production pastures based within environmental and managerial
constraints. SOW smart™ target high livestock utilisation due to high
palatability and feed quality characteristics that result in high animal
performance and establishes easier using “best practice” techniques.
