BarBumper - Forage Boost

BarBumper is a very flexible product that can fit into different regimes where extra forage is required immediately. This specialist ryegrass mix will produce up to 30% more forage than a newly sown perennial ryegrass ley and is designed to give maximum bulk instantly, producing leafy quality forage from now all the way through to next winter. It can grow down to 3oC soil temperature and will utilise the nutrients that are available in the soil after the dry summer we have been experiencing.

It is equally at home being used as a winter grazing mixture, early spring cut before being ploughed out for a spring-sown crop or used as a sacrifice field for early spring grazing as a more cost-effective alternative to perennial ryegrass.
