If you’re looking for a cool-season perennial grass with a reputation for making top-tier horse hay, you’ll want to consider Smooth Brome. Its fame comes from a combination of its wide blades and exceptional protein content. Smooth brome establishes strong rhizomatous roots that naturally thicken stands over time, building long-term value for hay and pasture operations. The combination of its drought tolerance and high nutritional value is exactly what makes this a great foundation for any solid forage program. Just remember to manage your grazing carefully—we recommend no more than 10 days of continuous use to maintain a healthy and productive stand.

Additional Information
To get the best results with smooth brome, you’ll want to keep its unique growth and management needs in mind. Its large seed size can be a challenge for some drill equipment, so we recommend calibrating your seeder or broadcasting the seed followed by light cultivation. A pro tip for establishing a mixed stand with orchard grass or alfalfa is to plant in the early fall. The soil temperatures are still ideal for germination, and it gives the seeds a chance to develop a strong root system before winter.
