Fenugreek - OMRI Inoculated

Description

Fenugreek is not commonly known in the US, but we think it should be. This legume is commonly used in pastures and haying situations. It is known for its livestock health benefits including promoting reproductive and digestive health. In fact some of the top soil scientists in the world recommend adding fenugreek to every livestock diet. This plant looks similar to clover with flowers resembling common peas. As a warm season plant, fenugreek loves sunlight and heat and makes a great addition to any warm season mix for its grazing and N-fixing characteristics.
