While this spring offered a chance to reseed grassland, opportunities were limited as grass supplies were squeezed in May and June. With rainfall that came in June and July this allowed Grass stocks everywhere to recover. This allows time to start thinking about reseeding into the Autumn. Although input costs have greatly increased for reseeding ground, grass still remains our cheapest source of fodder and utilisation becomes increasingly important coming into the final rotations.

Liffey Mills have been to the forefront in recent years providing some of the countrys highest quality grass varieties and mixing them for our customers and have a wide range of grass seed mixtures again this year to cater for all soil types and farm enterprises.

Our leading mix for high output grazing is what we believe to be an excellent option:

'TETRA SWARD'. This is a 100% tetraploid mix containing 1 kilo of Coolfin clover, as well as the top 3 varieties for digestibility based off of the Teagasc

Pasture Profit Index (PPI), Aston Energy, Nashota, and Xenon. This blend is guaranteed to yield exceptional tonnes of highly digestible forage throughout the grazing season.

We have outstanding mixes for Dual purpose, one cut and graze, intensive grazing, heavy ground, intensive silage, Red clover silage, multi species mixes to give a flavour of our offering. These are available in all our branches, please liaise with your local branch for further details and personal reseeding plan right through to first spraying and grazing.
