Description
Looking for a high-quality pasture mix to optimize animal performance and maximize per acre return? Look no further than our 50 Lb. bag of Pasture Mixture. This premium blend of seeds is designed to provide balanced nutrition and maximum pasture production for your animals.
We start with only the highest quality ingredients, including 54.85% pure alfalfa, 29.77% pure medium red clover, 9.95% pure Timothy, and 4.93% pure white clover. Each ingredient is carefully chosen for its regional adaptability, with the medium red clover and white clover pre-inoculated with EXCEED for added nutrition and protection against harmful pathogens.
| Pure Seed | Kind | Germination | Hard Seed | Origin |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 54.85% | Alfalfa | 70% | 20% | CAN |
| 29.77% | Medium Red Clover | 70% | 20% | OR |
| 9.95% | Timothy | 85% | N/A | CAN |
| 4.93% | White Clover | 80% | 5% | OR |
In addition to these high-quality seeds, our Pasture Mixture also contains a small percentage of other ingredients, including 0.07% other crop seeds, 0.36% inert matter, and 0.07% weed seeds (none of which are noxious).
🌾 Seeding Rate
| Planting Method | Rate (lbs/acre) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Drilled (preferred) | 18–22 lbs/acre | Ensures optimal seed-to-soil contact and uniform establishment. |
| Broadcast (followed by light harrowing or cultipacking) | 22–26 lbs/acre | Use the higher end of the range for less ideal seedbeds or no-till conditions. |
| Frost Seeding (early spring) | 14–18 lbs/acre | Effective for overseeding existing pastures when the soil is honeycombed by frost. |
🌱 Planting & Maintenance Guidelines
| Category | Recommendations |
|---|---|
| Optimal Planting Time | Spring: March–May  • Fall: Late August–September (6–8 weeks before first frost) |
| Seeding Depth | ¼" – ½" maximum; firm seedbed is essential for small-seeded species like clover and Timothy. |
| Seedbed Preparation | Smooth, firm seedbed; soil should be firm enough that a footprint sinks no deeper than ½". |
| Soil pH Range | 6.0 – 7.0 ideal; apply lime if below 6.0. |
| Fertility Needs | Apply P and K per soil test recommendations. Avoid high N applications early, as legumes supply nitrogen naturally. |
| Inoculation | Clover components already pre-inoculated with EXCEED®; no additional inoculant required. |
| Companion or Nurse Crop | Optional: sow with light oats (1 bu/acre) for erosion control and early forage. |
| Grazing / Cutting Management | Allow at least 8–10 weeks of growth before first grazing or cutting; maintain 3–4" stubble height for regrowth. |
| Weed Control | Early mowing or selective herbicide (as labeled for legumes) during establishment phase. |
| Expected Longevity | 3–5 years with proper management and rotation. |

Shipping Policy
At Standish Milling, we're committed to delivering your products in a timely and cost-effective manner. Here's some information to help you understand our shipping costs.
UPS Ground Shipping
We primarily use UPS Ground for our shipping. The cost of shipping is calculated based on the weight of your order and your location. UPS Ground offers reliable, cost-effective delivery for packages under 150 lbs.
You can estimate your shipping costs by adding items to your cart and entering your shipping address. Our system will automatically calculate the shipping costs before you proceed to checkout.
LTL (Less Than Truckload) Shipping
For larger orders over 150 lbs, we use Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipping. LTL shipping is a cost-effective way to ship large orders by combining shipments from multiple customers.
Here's how it works:
-
You get a quote: When you add items to your cart that total more than 150 lbs, our system will provide an LTL shipping quote. This quote is based on the total weight of your order and your shipping address.
-
Your order is shipped: Once your order is ready, we send it to the shipping carrier who combines it with other shipments going in the same direction. This process allows us to save on shipping costs and pass those savings onto you.
-
Your order is delivered: The carrier will deliver your order to your specified address. Keep in mind that delivery times for LTL shipments may be longer than UPS Ground shipments due to the consolidation process.
