Perennial Forage Seed and Pasture Blends for BC Producers

Perennial forage systems form the backbone of reliable forage production. When selected and managed correctly, perennial forage seed delivers strong yields, consistent forage quality, and long-term field performance.

At Forage Based Solutions, we help BC producers choose perennial forage options that match their soils, climate, and livestock needs. Our focus is on persistence, productivity, and forage quality so your stands perform year after year.

Built for BC Conditions

Perennial forages must withstand local soil conditions, moisture levels, and management pressures. We work with proven suppliers and well-tested genetics to offer pasture seed mixes and pasture seed blends that stand up to real farm conditions.

We consider:

  • Soil type and drainage

  • Intended use, such as grazing or cut and carry

  • Stand longevity and persistence

  • Yield potential and seasonal growth patterns

  • Fit within your crop rotation and nutrient plan

PERENNIAL FORAGE USE CASES

Grazing and Rotational Pasture

Rotational pasture systems rely on durable, recoverable stands. We recommend grazing mixes that balance palatability, regrowth, and traffic tolerance. These pasture seed blends support consistent intake while protecting stand life under repeated grazing.

Cut and Carry Forage Systems

For hay and silage production, perennial forage seed must deliver yield and feed value across multiple cuts. We help you select alfalfa and grass blends that support predictable forage quality and strong regrowth.

Longevity, Persistence, and Yield

Perennial forage stands are a long-term investment. We focus on varieties and blends that persist through winter, tolerate harvest pressure, and maintain yield over time. Matching forage genetics to management style helps extend stand life and protect forage acres.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Perennial forage seed is used to establish long-lasting forage stands for grazing, hay, or silage. These systems support consistent forage production over multiple years.

  • The right pasture seed mix depends on soil conditions, grazing pressure, and how the field will be used. We help match grazing mixes or pasture seed blends to your management goals.

  • Yes. Many perennial forage blends are designed for rotational pasture and support regrowth between grazing periods.

  • Stand life varies by species and management, but well-managed perennial forage stands can remain productive for several years.
