There’s no doubt the economics of farming is presenting a challenging environment right now. However, there is one thing you can do on-farm to help mitigate rising costs and inflationary pressure and that’s grow your own feed. And when it comes to growing your own feed, you’ve certainly come to the right place.
At Agricom we’ve made selecting the right feed option for your specific farm system and region easy.

Reason is ideal for sheep, beef and dairy systems looking for extra spring growth, while maintaining summer and
autumn quality and production. Reason AR37 is an ideal mid heading ryegrass to add an earlier heading date to dairy platforms that have a lot of late heading ryegrass.
Legion AR37 can be used in general sheep and beef pastures having excellent density for periods of set stocking and winter grazing. It is also a high performance grass that is well suited to dairy pastures and run-offs.
Manta is a late heading diploid Italian ryegrass with an upright habit, medium tiller size, and broad leaves. Often it can be mistaken for a tetraploid Italian, especially through winter and spring.
Mohaka can be used as a short to medium term pasture for sheep and beef finishing, as well as being a high-performance hybrid ryegrass suited to dairy platforms, undersowing and runoffs for high quality silage production.
Three60, like ONE50 before it, has demonstrated a staygreen habit through dry summer conditions. This is particularly noticeable in the hot northern areas of New Zealand where Three60 has been very visual in its tolerance to hot and dry summer conditions.
Align is a high performance tetraploid perennial ryegrass that is productive throughout the year providing resilient, quality drymatter for modern production systems.
Brace was finally selected after extensive dairy evaluation in the Waikato with proven persistence, high yield and adaptability to current environmental conditions in the presence of pests and current fertiliser practices. Brace has more consistently large leaves, making it a very visual white clover. It has production improvements in all seasons particularly noticeable in autumn and winter.
Attribute has shown a high level of performance in dryland sheep pastures under both set stocking and rotational grazing in Canterbury while being just as successful in the intensive grass growing areas of the rotationally grazed cattle pastures in the upper North Island. Attribute is the perfect white clover base for a clover mix.
Emblem is a medium to small-leaved white clover that is a third generation of this style. It has been bred and selected from a programme focused on broadly adaptive genotypes successful in variable environmental conditions and grazing managements.
Choice is often mixed with a grass/clover pasture because it requires very little change to pasture establishment and management practices. It is an easy way to increase animal production from a pasture.
SovGold is a modern New Zealand bred kale that combines excellent quality with a high yield potential.
Spitfire is a modern multi-purpose rape that can be sown in spring for lamb or for cattle finishing or summer dairy grazing, or sown in mid summer to early autumn for autumn and winter grazing.
Mainstar has excellent regrowth potential and good frost tolerance extending grazing times from early summer to late winter.
Hunter is a quick growing, leafy turnip, with minimal bulb development and is best suited to multiple grazings.
New Zealand’s only proven environmental plantain that functions in four independent ways to reduce N leaching from the urine patch.
