Ky31

What in the world is going on with it seems to keep going up 30.00 a 50lb bag each year. In bulk discount I'm still paying 70.00 a 50# bag. Those that use fescue what are you seeing price wise?

seed seems to go up every year. that seems pretty high for 31 especially with how much seed it produces.

i think i'm around 180 bucks for a 50 lb sack depending on mix. that's byron seeds though.

Something to keep watch of when buying Kentucky 31 fescue seed is the germination rate.

I find it cheaper in the big box stores but it tends to be around a 80% germination rate vs the local farm supply which usually runs in the high 90's on germination rate.

I am sorry to resurrect this thread. But I have been shopping for grass seed since, due to all of our wet weather, a couple of my pastures are a rutted mess. The price I am seeing is about $1.50/pound.

I called this week for pricing on KY31 to add in with ryegrass for feeding area cleanup. It ranges from $80.00 to $90.00 for 50# bag. Gone are the days of $40.00 per bag.

And have not been able to obtain Kobe Lespedeza in several years. Why is there such a problem with this.

I saw some at tractor supply the other day. It was in a green bag 50# but said ky 31 ......it was coated it said. There were several bags it looked like on a pallet in the store along with the regular Ky 31 in the white bag. Hmmm

Oh yea ... it was in the $60./bag range

That is pretty good since their website has it at $75

Its the green bag thats a lot cheaper 62.99 here and 79.99 for the regular. the green is coated for what ever reason...don't know why or what for.

 

[sim.-ang.king]

Your getting less seed with the coated seed. So based on actually cost per pound, they are the same.

I hadn't thought a that ......them dirty scoundrels!
