Organic Seed –
Forage, Cover Crop, and Grain

King’s AgriSeeds makes every effort to support our organic and sustainable customers with superior seed genetics, a full cover crop line, and technical agronomic expertise based on a wealth of experience specific to organic rotations. We want to give you these tools to help you build a strong, resilient rotation that can thrive without chemical inputs, while promoting effective land stewardship. We advocate longer, more complex and diverse rotations, which helps manage weeds, fertility and pests by adding a crop instead of a chemical.

We work closely with the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, local Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the No-till Alliance, and others to educate growers about soil health and conservation practices like planting year-round covers, buffers near waterways, proper manure management, minimizing tillage, and working perennial crops into their rotations.

The following is our organic lineup. (Many of our conventional products are also available untreated)

Annuals

Conventional 3.6 maturity bean with excellent yield potential. Has performed very well in Penn State. Recommended planting population: 140-175k.

360 SB Soybeans Tech Sheet

High quality purple flower forage pea. Can be planted in spring or fall. Small seed size. Good to mix with spring oats, spring triticale, or spring barley for high quality, highly digestible feed. Recommended seeding rate: 80-100 lbs/A.

4010 Peas Tech Sheet

An early season gene 6 BMR forage sorghum with good standability and dry down. It is a little earlier than AF 7201 in maturity, but similar in plant height. It has very sweet stalks and is a good choice for boot stage or soft dough harvests. 82-85 days to soft dough stage. Recommended seeding rate: for direct harvest – 80K/A; for cut and wilt at boot stage – 25 lbs/A.

AF7101 Tech Sheet

organic seed - forage sorghum seeds- King's AgriSeeds

A high-yielding, taller oat with a high test weight. Recommended seeding rate: 95-130 lb/A.

Deon Oats Tech Sheet

A millet that can be used for forage or summer cover crop. It does better in wet soils than many of the other summer annuals. Fast growth and a fibrous root system makes it an excellent cover crop. It has a finer stem than pearl millet and sorghum and makes high quality forage for grazing or hay. Recommended seeding rate: 20 lb/A.

Japanese Millet Tech Sheet

A taller oat for forage or cover crop. Recommended seeding rate: 100-130 lb/A.

Jerry Oats Tech Sheet 

This new exclusive KingFisher hybrid is very quick growing and high yielding with a dry stalk for ease of drydown. Stems are finer and sweeter than many sorghum-sudans. The higher leaf to stem ratio ensures quality grazing or feed. Digestibility of this hybrid is increased due to the reduction in lignin from the BMR trait, increasing daily gains or milk production significantly. Recommended seeding rate: 40-50 lbs/A.

KF SugarPro 55SS Tech Sheet

Small seeded buckwheat for cover crop programs. Excellent smother crop, quick summer growth for brief planting windows in the rotation. Not suited for grain or attracting pollinators. Recommended seeding rate: 25-35 lbs/A.

Trical 815 is a leafy triticale that is ideally suited to high quality forage production for lactating dairy cows and finishing beef. Its leaf to stem ratio is quite high.

Trials show that small leaved white clover is most persistent in permanent pastures under grazing management. Rivendel is a small-leaved very persistent variety. It has short rhizomes and short leaf growth, which makes it suitable for both cattle and sheep farming as it tolerates close grazing and maintains a high proportion of clover in the sward. In several trails though out Europe, Rivendel has shown its excellent resistance against strong and cold winter conditions. It has a good distribution of DM yields throughout the season and years with high relative yields compared to the standard variety in 3rd. and following years. Recommended seeding rate: 2-5 lbs/A.

Rivendel is pre-inoculated with Rhizobium bacteria for best nitrogen fixation.

Festulolium

Perun is a tetraploid variety of festulolium, Italian ryegrass type but with better persistence. The yield is high with relatively high sugar contents. Perun is utilized for silage as pure crop or in mixture with other grasses like perennial ryegrass, tall fescue types of festulolium and red clover. In such mixtures, Perun participates with high dry matter yield – especially in the 1st and 2nd harvest year – with very good quality. Recommended seeding rate: 30-40 lbs/A.
