Potomac Orchard Grass Seed represents the trusted “old stand-by” variety that has proven its worth on our farm since the 1950s. This cool-season perennial grass delivers consistent productivity and rust resistance while maintaining excellent palatability for livestock. With its mid to early maturity timing and bunch-type growth habit, Potomac creates reliable hay and pasture stands that perform year after year in cooler climates.

Farmers seeking dependable forage production will find Potomac’s early maturity advantage particularly valuable when planning harvest schedules around weather windows. While this variety pairs well with most legumes, avoid mixing with alfalfa for hay production since Potomac matures earlier and creates timing conflicts during cutting. Instead, combine with red clover or ladino clover to create nitrogen-rich stands that boost protein content while maintaining synchronized maturity dates for clean, high-quality hay harvests.
