Grass Seed

Grass Seed Crop Update

As the 2021 grass seed harvest gets underway, the initial indications are that the yields will be down significantly this year.  Low precipitation combined with record heat in the western united states will likely reduce yields by 25%-50%, depending on the species.  Additionally, demand has been abnormally high the last 15 months due to previous COVID restrictions, which has virtually eliminated any carryover seed from the 2020 harvest. 

Whereas we are confident that we will secure enough seed for your Fall needs, pricing will be up significantly in the near future.  Firm numbers are still a couple of weeks away, but an increase of 30%-40% is certainly a possibility, depending on the mixture. 

One possible solution is to add or increase the amount of turf-type annual ryegrass in your seed mix.  Our turf-type annual ryegrass blends in well with other grasses and germinates quickly, helping to reduce erosion and thus protect the other seed.  Another possibility is trying to maximize the germination by using a nutrient-coated mix.  The coating helps protect & nourish the seed until it germinates and the increased germination percentage helps to offset the reduced seed count in the bag.  For questions or more detailed information, please contact your sales representative.
