Forage Chicory (80%)
Chicory is a biennial/perennial forb that was introduced to the US in the late 1700s. Its succulent leaves are valued for forage and its prominent tap roots are sometimes harvested for their fructo-oligosaccharide content or for use as a coffee additive. Chicory is well adapted to temperate environments and tolerates a wide range of soil conditions. It performs best on moderately drained, deep soils with medium to high fertility. The persistence of chicory is similar to that of alfalfa. Good stands can last for five years or more with good management. Chicory performs well not only by itself, but also in mixtures with other cool-season forages. When induced to flower, it "bolts" and produces stems with sparse foliage and purple-blue flowers.

Medium Red Clover (10%)
A biennial legume, 12 to 15 inches in height. It is well suited in short rotations and generally used in a hay or pasture setting. Rapid spring growth, to allow for multiple cuttings and grazing. Produces excellent forage quality with above average yield. Shade tolerance allows for use as a cover crop in silage corn. Excellent winter hardiness.

Vernal Alfalfa (10%)
Vernal has been the standard of the industry for many years. It exhibits good winter hardiness, has moderate re-growth after cutting, is fine stemmed and has dark green leaves. Vernal is used mostly for hay production in medium rotation applications. Vernal was developed by the University of Wisconsin and released in 1953.
