Creating a new pasture for your farm is a powerful management tool for improving both production and profit. Choosing from the Moregrass Seed Mixture Range together with good preparation, establishment and management, can provide dramatic increases in farm production over poor quality pastures.
There are many benefits of sowing new pastures some of which are detailed below:
1. Greater returns
2. Improved animal performance and productivity
3. Improved feed quality and palatability
4. Improved Pasture growth throughout the year and at critical 'out of season' times
5. Introduction of improved pasture genetics
The benefits of both pasture renewal (reseeding) or pasture rejuvenation (overseeding) and the positive economic returns have been well proven on many farms.
What is sometimes forgotten is how much more can be produced seasonally and in total comparing improved reseeding and overseeding pastures from poor quality swards.
It is important to note that pastures deteriorate over time and that this is a natural process and therefore cannot be avoided.
The decline is caused by a combination of uncontrollable factors such as weather (i.e. drought) poaching damage, disease and weed infestation.
As such both pasture renewal and rejuvenation are important factors to maintain farm productivity.
