Bromegrass
 
     The Brome genus is a large family of many varied grasses. Some species are extremely winter-hardy and persistent. Others exhibit an indeterminate seeding habit and persist through frequently dropped seed. Bromegrasses require high fertility levels and well drained soils. Bromegrasses, in general, do well when planted as a companion with alfalfa.
 
Hakari
       Hakari Alaska brome (Bromus sitchensis) is bred in New Zealand and considered as the the Matua for the colder climates of North America. It is very fast in establishment and regrowth. The feed quality is high and is can be used as a companion with alfalfa. Hakari is late maturing and very high yielding and not susceptible to smut.
    
Matua
       Matua Prairie brome (Bromus wildenowii Kunth) is a very widely adapted prairie bromegrass. It has a great track record as a grazing species under irrigation in the arid Southern USA. Further north it does well as a grass companion in hay fields. More recently, its role in watewater management has been proven. Matua seed is treated to prevent headsmut and processed to ensure free flowing seed at time of planting. Certified Matua is easily recognized by its pink color.
