Orchard Grass

Orchard Grass is generally higher in calorie and protein content compared to the other grass species most commonly grown for hay in our area. Locally, orchard grass hay is rather popular and available.  Our wet springs and hot summers can create some challenges in growing orchard grass, which is a early-maturing, cool-season grass, but when made well orchard grass can offer a very high quality product. On a normal year we are able to get three cuttings.
