Broadleaves
Buckwheat (Mancan)
Buckwheat is a fast establishing broadleaf that works great as a warm season cover crop. Buckwheat is also known for being a phosphorus scavenger. This means it can take up phosphorus more efficiently than other plants. Being a short season plant with 45-60 day maturity, it can produce viable seed throughout the growing season. In a situation where a buckwheat plant is grazed, it can drop a seed down to take that previous plant's spot to help prevent weeds. Additionally, buckwheat is fast to flower, making it a great species for pollinators.

Italian Ryegrass (Tetlia/Tetra Prime)
Italian ryegrass is an excellent option for grazing. This high quality forage withstands close grazing which allows for total forage utilization. Italian ryegrass is generally considered a biennial, so it remains vegetative in its first year of growth and will not produce seed until its second year of growth. The Tetra Prime variety has improved winter hardiness along with excellent drought tolerance.
