Renegaide® | Yellow Jacket®

Restore Productivity to Challenging Dryland Pastures

Low rainfall doesn't have to mean low productivity. Renegaide^® | Yellow Jacket^® is a premium dryland pasture mixture developed for producers in 18–30 inch annual precipitation zones who need productive, persistent forage under challenging conditions. Combining drought-tolerant grasses with Yellow Jacket^® enhanced seed coating, Renegaide^® | Yellow Jacket^® helps establish resilient pastures that produce more forage and extend the grazing season.

Why Choose Renegaide^® | Yellow Jacket^®?

Built for Low-Mid Rainfall Environments

Renegaide^® | Yellow Jacket^® was specifically developed for dryland pastures receiving 18–30 inches of annual precipitation. It performs well in new seedings, interseeding projects, and areas with limited irrigation, including spring runoff irrigation systems.

Premium Grasses for Harsh Conditions

Rather than relying on standard forage species, Renegaide^® | Yellow Jacket^® combines improved varieties selected for persistence, drought tolerance, and long-term productivity. The mixture includes:

• Ammo™ orchardgrass for early spring growth, vigor, and persistence.
• Arsenal™ meadow brome for forage quality and grazing performance.
• Artillery™ smooth brome for dependable production and drought tolerance.
• Armory™ tall fescue for exceptional drought tolerance and seasonal persistence.
• Hamann™ creeping wheatgrass, developed with USDA-ARS, for outstanding resilience in harsh environments.

Early Green-Up and Extended Grazing

Renegaide^® | Yellow Jacket^® greens up early in the spring and produces productive forage throughout the growing season. Its persistent perennial grasses help producers extend grazing, reduce reliance on harvested feed, and improve pasture productivity year after year.

Proven Toughness

Every species in Renegaide^® | Yellow Jacket^® was selected for environmental stress tolerance, strong plant vigor, and disease tolerance.

In a Montana State University private trial conducted under below-average precipitation and snowfall, Hamann™ creeping wheatgrass produced substantial biomass without irrigation beyond natural rainfall, demonstrating the resilience that helps make Renegaide^® | Yellow Jacket^® so effective in dryland systems.

Powered by Yellow Jacket^®

Every seed of Renegaide^® | Yellow Jacket^®is powered by Barenbrug's Yellow Jacket^® enhanced seed coating technology. The natural corn starch-based coating can absorb up to 600 times its weight in water, helping maintain moisture around the seed during germination. This promotes faster establishment, stronger early seedling growth, and improved success when soil moisture is limited. Learn more about Yellow Jacket^® technology.
