The best seed mix for hay typically includes a combination of grasses and legumes to ensure high nutrient content and optimal growth. Common grass species include Timothy, Orchardgrass, and Kentucky Bluegrass, while legumes like Alfalfa and Red Clover are often added for protein. The specific mix can vary based on climate, soil type, and intended use, so it's important to consider local conditions and forage needs. Consulting with a local agricultural extension service can help tailor the seed mix to specific regional requirements.
