Payload is a medium maturity tall fescue, reaching head emergence approximately 2 days later than KY-31 that will maximize season long production. Its strong vigour, large crown size and aggressive regrowth have consistently produced more forage yield. As a forage yield leader, Payload is well adapted for hay production, while its palatability lends itself well to pasture.
