When choosing a grass seed mixture suitable for grazing in 2023, varieties with strong PPI values and high intake characteristics are essential to maximise the return on your investment. Choosing varieties with positive values for quality will help ensure a palatable mixture when used in grazing swards, which will support higher animal intakes and animal performance. 

When choosing a grass seed mixture suitable for silage it is important to differentiate between a mixture designed for Intensive silage (3 Cuts +) versus a mixture that is designed for cutting and grazing i.e. dual purpose.
