Take what I say with a grain of salt, but....

We are going to reseed two fields, one in 100% orchard grass
and the other 100% timothy.

We want to be in the market for horse hay buyers, both
timothy and orchard grass take us there. I think fescue will
yield more crop and last longer without reseeding, but the
perception among most horse owners I speak with is you
cannot feed fescue to horses.

The other reason for two separate seed types is maturity.
Timothy comes in later than orchard grass, so we can deal
with one field at a time vs putting it all down at once and all of
the hay getting rained on at once too!

But if I had to plant one grass (I'm in central/western VA), it
would be orchard grass. Robust hay, two cuttings per year,
acceptable from cow to horse owners.

Good luck,
Bill
