Top Tim XL

Top Tim XL

Top Tim XL timothy is an early maturing blend of timothy grasses. It is highly productive in northern geographies for hay or haylage. Early growth is highly palatable for pasture, while later season growth produces leafy and fine-stemmed plants with strong yields and optimum forage quality. Performs best on well drained, fertile soils.
