Fast Grass Brand Annual Ryegrass is adapted to a wide range of soil and climatic conditions. Whether heavy clay soils or light, sandy soils, the vigor and rooting ability of Fast Grass make it a top choice for pasture and range overseeding, as well as a companion planting with cereal grains and legumes.
Planting Dates -- Sept. through Nov.
Seeding Rates -- 25-40 lbs/acre, or 20-25 lbs/acre when seeding into small grains.
Planting Recommendations -- It is best to establish Fast Grass on a well prepared seedbed. Light disking from 3 to 6 inches deep, followed by harrow and roller will be adequate. If overseeding into an established pasture, the pasture should be grazed or mowed to about 2 inches in height. Seed should have good contact with the soil. Plant no deeper than 1/2 inch.
