Cattle Business in Mississippi
BROADER LEAF. BIGGER YIELDS. BETTER GRAZING. “Nelson Tetraploid ryegrass was chosen as the top producer at our annual ryegrass trials by out-producing Big Boss and others. This makes the third year for Nelson to be selected as top producer. I also plant Nelson ryegrass for my cattle operation.” 3,900
ALEX LEWIS Lucedale, Mississippi “We used Nelson ryegrass for grazing and cutting this past season. We planted 190 acres in September and started grazing 520 milking cows on it in November. We grazed the cows for two hours daily through June 1st. We also had a 70 acre field we planted for baleage. We cut 350 bales that weighed 1,100 lbs. each. We are extremely pleased with Nelson. We like the broader leaf of Nelson and that Nelson went longer into spring giving us more production. Also Nelson came up faster than Prine we had planted. In our opinion Nelson is better than Prine. Nelson ryegrass will be the only ryegrass we will be planting on our ‘all natural organic’ dairy farm.”
