View AlfalfaClovers are fast growing biennials or short-lived perennials. They are a popular legume known for their high-quality protein and digestibility. Clovers are quick to establish and can provide complimentary forage availability when grasses are less productive. Primary uses include hay, silage and soil improvement – due in part to an ability to grow in a great range of soils, climates and fix nitrogen.
View CloverSome Legumes are a great option for pastures as they can be profitable, productive and persistent – while offering non-bloat certainty that provides piece of mind for livestock safety. Our line-up of non-bloat legumes includes Leo Birdsfoot Trefoil, Sainfoin and AC Oxley II Cicer Milkvetch.
