Perennial Ryegrass Seed Production in Western Canada
Perennial Ryegrass Seed Production in Western Canada
More opportunity growing ryegrass. Grass seed production is a pain in the a@#, but it can pay.
Fertilizer imputs are very high 120 lbs N and lots of P and K, every year. Plus you have to poor a pile of glyphosate on the field for 2 or 3 years after ( 1.5 litre/ac. every year) to get it controled. But once you establish a stand you get 2 or 3 year of good production. You can do this on some marginal land as an added bonus. And the gross return can be in the $250 per acre range.
