Quick Facts

MAMMOTH orchardgrass is a medium-early maturing variety bred for high forage production as well as tolerance to weather extremes. Mammoth has performed well in diverse climates with extreme weather such as Alberta, Missouri, and Northern California. These climates have tested the ability to withstand heat, drought, and severe winters.

Mammoth is suited to both pasture and hay production. It has high fall growth as well, as demonstrated by a high fall cutting in most trials. Use Mammoth for maximum production in a limited amount of time. It produces high amounts of forage in the first harvest with a high capacity for re-growth. It will produce high amounts of forages in subsequent cuts as well.
