Brassi-Cast is a great addition if you are planning to graze crop residue later in the year. You can also plan to drill a cereal into the mix once the previous crop is harvested. Use this mix to... protect soil from erosion add diversity improve nutrient cycling Ideal for... row crop farmers corn producers These seeds are non-GMO and not treated with pesticides. This product is pre-inoculated with Elevate'd Fungi to increase the biological activity in your soil. Elevate'd Fungi is OMRI approved.

Chickpeas (Desi)
As the most heat tolerant of the cool season legumes, chickpeas offer a versatility that can be used in both warm and cool season mixes. Though not a great biomass producer, chickpeas are very drought tolerant and can help cover the ground in the midst of a summer drought. This taprooted plant can be used with grasses to add diversity and help break up compaction. As a legume, chickpeas will also fix nitrogen into the soil. Desi chickpeas have a smaller seed size so they blend well in a cover crop mix.

Honeybee and Pollinator Production
This Honeybee and Pollinator Production Mix was designed in conjunction with the Nebraska Beekeepers Association. This mix features annuals, biennials and perennials that offer season-long pollen and nectar sources. Optimally planted into firm seed bed sometime from mid-April to mid-May in Zone 5 (can be planted earlier in Zone 6 and later in Zone 4) with adequate moisture in the forecast when soil temperatures reach 50-55°F. 1/8” planting depth is ideal, no deeper than 1/4” in planting depth. Can be drilled or broadcast seeded, but if broadcasted, double the suggested rate (indicated on seed mix packaging) is desirable. If overseeding without any site prep (i.e. tillage, chemical treatment, etc.) then 4 times the suggested rate is desired for quality seed coverage. The Honeybee and Pollinator Production mix will provide a food source for your honeybees this year and for years to come. Use this mix to... feed honeybees attract pollinators add diversity Ideal for... beekeepers pollinator enthusiasts These seeds are non-GMO and not treated with pesticides.

Sunn Hemp (Crescent Sunn)
Sunn hemp is an erect, tall growing warm-season legume with an anchoring tap root. Sunn hemp is a tropical plant so it thrives in the heat. It's deep taproot helps it access water and nutrients deep in the soil profile and works with bacteria to fix nitrogen. The leaves are high in protein for grazing and especially popular with small ruminants like sheep, goats, and deer, but cattle will also eat the leaves. It's long growing season also makes it a great addition to grazing mixes. Due to toxicity concerns we do NOT recommend grazing sunn hemp as a monoculture. The stalk is very lignified making this a poor species to use in a hay mix.

The leaves are high in protein for grazing and especially popular with small ruminants like sheep, goats, and deer, but cattle will also eat the leaves.

Sweet Clover (Hubam White) - OMRI Inoculated
Hubam White Sweet Clover is a true annual clover with incredible biomass production. While its taproot is shorter and more slender than that of its biennial cousins, it still loosens subsoil compaction. Annual sweetclovers work best in the Deep South, from Texas to Georgia as they thrive in the heat and are not frost tolerant. There, they establish more quickly than the biennial types and produce more biomass in the seeding year in southern regions. Sweet clover is an excellent option for attracting pollinators.
