I am seeing very thin stands after outwintering on fescue/OG paddocks. I am seeing very thick stands after outwintering on reed canary/quack grass stands. It seems like central Minnesota is too far north for fescue to persist well... Meadow fescue seems a little hardier than tall fescue here but neither one lasts more than 5 to 8 years at best.
I am thinking about seeding more upland reed canary based stands. Is there a mix that gives you decent production till the reed canary takes off in the third year? I am considering including shorter lived varieties like festolium or tall fescue.
