USES • As a cool season pasture forage to improve grazing or hay quality • As a cool season annual legume to increase the attractiveness and forage quality of wildlife food plots • As a cool season annual legume for cover crop use and organic nitrogen production • As an attractant and pollen source for numerous pollinator species BENEFITS • Produces high quality, palatable forage for all classes of livestock • Improves forage quality and extends the number of grazing days when used to overseed warm season perennial pastures • Increases the attractiveness and nutritional value of wildlife food plots when planted alone or in a mixture with cool season annual grasses. • Fixes 75-150 lbs/Acre of nitrogen that can be shared with companion forages or future crops thus reducing or eliminating the need to purchase nitrogen fertilizer • Excellent as a green manure or cover crop for conservation tillage or organic farming systems Pennington with design is registered trademark of Pennington Seed, Inc.
