Renovator mix is a great short term forage either for a crop rotation or to fix some type of damaged area. It may be a winter feedlot or a hill side that needs some quick cover.
Renovator could also be used as a short term (2 yrs or so) between longer term crops such as alfalfa. The ryegrass/festulolium blend produces high quality, quick establishing feed.
It is not recommended to dry bale Renovator.

Seeding Rate
For pasture/hay field renovation varies according to the quality/quantity of the forage in the field

Method of Seeding
Use of a Brillion seeder, a no-till drill or a culti-packer is ideal. Seed to soil contact is vital to having a successful stand. Take caution to not plant the seed more than 1/4" deep. Each of these grasses needs proper management on initial grazings and weed control to offer the best pasture
