Bromus commutatus
MBA
MBA meadow bromegrass is a perennial, cool-season forage grass. Primarily used for grazing, it has consistent, high yields throughout the growing season and recovers quickly, making it a popular choice for hay, haylage, or pasture production. Meadow bromegrass can also be used in upland bird and wildlife plantings because it serves as excellent forage for larger game animals and waterfowl. It is very winter-hardy and performs best on fertile, moderately deep, well-drained soils, although it tolerates a range of soil textures. It does not tolerate flooding. If meant for permanent grazing pasture, it should not be grazed until the late fall of its second growing season.
