Safflower (Baldy)
Safflower is a drought tolerant, annual, warm season broadleaf that can be seeded in cool soils. Safflower is exceptional at breaking hard pans, encouraging water and air movement into the soil profile, as well as scavenging nutrients from depths unavailable to most agronomic crops. It is capable of doing this due to its impressive taproot which has been observed to grow 8-10 feet in ideal conditions. Safflower provides excellent forage for grazing but most varieties become prickly with maturity, rendering the plants unpalatable for livestock. Baldy safflower is one of the world's first spineless safflower varieties and has been developed specifically for grazing and cover crops. Baldy can be handled with bare hands even at maturity and is palatable for livestock grazing. Green Cover Seed owns the exclusive marketing rights for Baldy spineless safflower.

Radish (Nematode Control)
Nematode Control Radish possess a unique mechanism for nematode management. They release a specific biochemical compound from their roots, which prompts cyst nematode eggs to hatch prematurely. Subsequently, these nematodes adhere to the radish root, but struggle to acquire sufficient sustenance. Since radishes lack the nutrients essential for their survival, the nematodes either perish or fail to reproduce. Nematode-controlling radishes are selectively bred to optimize control over specific nematode species, offering an effective solution for managing nematode populations.

Foxtail Millet (White Wonder)
White wonder foxtail millet is used primarily for hay production. The stem is not as fine as Golden German Millet but it will get taller in height, approximately three feet, given adequate moisture. Expect to cut hay in approximately 50-55 days after planting. Windrow when heads begin emerging from the boot. Foxtail millet is also a great addition to summer grazing or wildlife mixes.

German Millet (Golden)
German millet is a warm season grass that can be planted earlier than sorghum sudan or pearl millet. Though it is not as productive as the aforementioned grasses, german millet makes a cost effective hay crop, ready for cutting about 55-60 days after planting. It does not have good regrowth which lends itself well to establishing the next crop without lingering competition after haying occurs.

Grazing Popcorn (Non-GMO)
This Non-GMO Grazing Popcorn is an excellent product for summer and fall grazing mixes as well as stockpile grazing mixes. Because corn tolerates cooler nights better than sorghum products, this is a great option for late summer planted grazing mixes. This seed is quite a bit smaller than the BMR corns so it stays in mixes and goes through a drill better than the larger BMR corn. While it doesn't contain the BMR trait which contributes to palatability, it is a better grazing corn compared to regular field corn and it will stand through the winter better than the BMR varieties.

Grazing Corn (Solargraze BMR)
Grazing Corn is a high quality warm season annual option which is especially useful in late summer as the nights begin to cool off. Corn will thrive with warm days and cool nights, whereas sorghum sudan prefers hot days and warm nights. Grazing corn is highly palatable though it does not have great regrowth. For this reason it is best for a late season planting where only one grazing event is planned. It will also provide a high carbon residue to help protect soil during the winter.

German millet is a warm season grass that can be planted earlier than sorghum sudan or pearl millet. Though it is not as productive as the aforementioned grasses, german millet makes a cost effective hay crop, ready for cutting about 55-60 days after planting. It does not have good regrowth which lends itself well to establishing the next crop without lingering competition after haying occurs.
