Excess is a medium leaved, diploid perennial ryegrass bred specifically for tougher environments. It produces exceptionally high dry matter yields and the mid-season heading date provides an earlier flush of spring growth which makes it ideal for lambing and calving.
Howard farms an intensive 60 ha dairy farm in the heart of the Waikato. Howard says Excess has been a revolution to his pasture management plan. "I have been growing Excess for three years now and it is definitely a 'game changer'. The biggest attribute that Excess has offered is the speed of feed and recovery after a dry spell".
