Tucker
Tucker orchardgrass was developed by OreGro Research from a five clone polycross from several top performing varieties. Exhibiting early to medium maturity, Tucker is an excellent choice for mixing alfalfa for producing high quality hay for horses and cattle. It also mixes well with other cool-season grasses like tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, timothy, and brome. With high yields of palatable, digestible forage, Tucker will increase animal health and nutrition, therefore decreasing input costs and increasing profits.
