Plan your next planting by contacting us for seed availability and recommendations.

Details That Matter Most

You get access to pasture grasses like fescue, ryegrass, and orchard grass, along with legume options such as clover and alfalfa. Each variety offers specific benefits, from drought tolerance to nitrogen fixation, helping you build productive pastures or crop rotations. Cover crop seeds like winter rye and crimson clover protect soil during off-season months and add organic matter.

When you work with Serios Feed and Seed, you receive guidance on seeding rates, planting depth, and timing for optimal results. Staff can explain which varieties perform best in heavy clay, sandy loam, or rocky terrain. Seeds are packaged in bags clearly marked with lot numbers and germination test results.

Additional services include soil testing referrals and fertility recommendations to prepare your ground before planting. You can also order custom seed mixes tailored to your specific grazing or cropping goals, ensuring every acre produces as intended.

Why Locals Choose This Option

Growers often ask about the best seed varieties, planting techniques, and timing to maximize stands and yields. Here are answers to the most common questions about seed selection and planting.

What's the best time to plant pasture seed?
Spring and fall offer the best conditions for germination, with cooler temperatures and consistent moisture. Avoid planting during hot, dry summer months when seedlings struggle to establish.
How do I prepare the soil before seeding?
Loosen the topsoil with a harrow or disc, remove debris, and apply lime or fertilizer based on soil test results. A firm, level seedbed improves seed-to-soil contact and germination rates.
Should I use coated or untreated seed?
Coated seed includes inoculant or fungicide for better establishment in challenging conditions. Untreated seed works well in prepared beds with good moisture and low disease pressure.
How long does it take for pasture seed to germinate?
Most pasture grasses germinate within 7 to 14 days under ideal conditions. Legumes like clover may take slightly longer, depending on soil temperature and moisture.
Can I overseed an existing pasture?
Yes, overseeding fills in bare spots and introduces new varieties without full renovation. Mow or graze the existing stand short, then broadcast seed and apply light pressure with a roller or harrow.

Your land deserves seed varieties that establish strong, productive stands season after season.
