Oliver Seeds | About Oliver Seeds

New Grass Varieties
The outstanding grass mixture range is again improved by the inclusion of top new varieties where appropriate. Particularly successful in 2008 were the grass seed solutions found in the "Specialist Long Term Mixtures" section, now featuring the new festulolium variety "LOFA".
 
Intake and Persistence
Oliver's mixture design is influenced by our unique grazing and persistency trials. Intake is one of the main limitations on the performance of livestock. Varieties with high palatability are aiding intake and making grazing management easier. Combine this with high "D" value, higher sugar levels, greater persistence and you will see that Oliver's swards are unbeaten for maximum output.
   

Organic Grass Seed
Oliver Seeds are very proactive on the organic grass front and are pleased to be able to offer ORGANIC alternatives to OUR TOTAL RANGE of grass seed mixtures.

We are also able to formulate specific mixtures to meet individual requirement as necessary. The minimum amount of ORGANIc grass seed in a mix has been set at 65% for 2009.
   

Wholecrop and Protein Crops
Sales of peas and wholecrop mixtures have risen dramatically in recent years. Oliver Seeds commissioned trials in 2004 to provide our customers with best advice on what to use in the future to ensure forage requirements are met and undersown leys given the best start in life. Contact us for full details. Wodjil Lupins continue to perform exceptionally well on farm and now feature in our new Lupin x Tritcale seeds mixture.

 
   
Maize
Olivers offer a comprehensive range of varieties for all maize growing areas in the UK. In some areas, 2007 was a difficult Maize growing year, but our varieties continue to impress. New for this year is KADENZ and ES REGAIN, early varieties in an ever demanding sector. OHIO, a market leader in energy density, has again performed exceptionally in forage and grain Maize markets.
   
Catch Crops
WINFRED continues to attract tremendous attention due to superb all round feeding qualities. A comprehensive range of top quality catch crops are outlined in this section. RAP-ITA provided invaluable fresh matter through 2007. The Fodder Beet varieties TROYA and ALPES also performed exceptionally well.
