HayMaster® Pro

HayMaster^® Pro: Elevate Your Hay Production

Produce high-quality hay with a mixture designed around your crop, climate, and livestock needs. HayMaster^® Pro combines carefully selected, late-maturing forage grasses that deliver quick dry-down, high yields, excellent digestibility, and dependable performance through summer. It can be planted as a straight grass hay field or paired with alfalfa and other legumes.

Why Choose HayMaster^® Pro?

Hay producers need more than yield alone. They need a crop that dries quickly, maintains quality, matches the maturity of companion legumes, and performs reliably through changing seasonal conditions. HayMaster^® Pro brings these traits together in a customizable mixture designed to help growers produce better hay.

High-Quality, High-Performing Hay

HayMaster^® Pro stands out with its carefully selected varieties, ensuring quick dry-down times and preserving the quality of your crop. Whether you’re cultivating a pure grass hay field or mixing with legumes, the soft-leaved, late-maturing grasses provide highly palatable forage with excellent levels of digestible fiber.

Under appropriate management, HayMaster^® Pro can produce 5 to 7 tons of highly palatable, nutritious dry matter per acre.

Quick Dry-Down for Better Hay Quality

The varieties in HayMaster^® Pro are selected for quick dry-down, helping shorten the time between cutting and baling. Faster drying can help growers protect forage quality, reduce weather exposure, and harvest within tighter dry-weather windows.

Customized Mixes for Your Operation

HayMaster^® Pro is customizable, allowing Barenbrug distributors to select the combination of grasses best suited to your climate, field conditions, companion crop, and hay market. Available components may include Barfleo™ timothy, HLR™ orchardgrass, improved bromegrasses, and STF-43™ soft-leaf tall fescue.

This flexibility allows producers to build a mixture around specific goals, whether producing premium dry hay, export hay, dairy-quality forage, horse hay, or hay for beef cattle.

Premium Forage Species

Barfleo™ Timothy

Barfleo™ is an intermediate-maturing timothy with strong spring production and excellent suitability for dry hay. Its winter hardiness and adaptation to high-mountain and snow-cover regions also make it a strong option for premium and export hay production.

HLR™ Orchardgrass

HLR™ combines intermediate- to late-maturing orchardgrass varieties selected for a high leaf-to-stem ratio. More leaves and fewer stems help improve digestibility, energy, and palatability, while its maturity makes it well matched for interplanting with alfalfa.

Improved Bromegrasses

Barenbrug bromegrasses provide exceptional winter hardiness and persistence. Improved varieties such as Artillery™ and Arsenal™ perform well in fertile, well-drained soils and make excellent companions for alfalfa.

STF-43™ Soft-Leaf Tall Fescue

STF-43™ is a premium blend of late-maturing, soft-leaf tall fescues that produces exceptional dry matter and digestible fiber. It is well suited for cutting systems and for planting with alfalfa and other legumes.

Transform Your Hay Production

An Ideal Companion for Alfalfa

HayMaster^® Pro can be planted alone, mixed with alfalfa at establishment, or no-till drilled into an existing alfalfa stand. Its late-maturing grasses help align harvest timing with alfalfa while adding digestible fiber, stand diversity, persistence, and yield.

High Yields into Summer

HayMaster^® Pro reaches peak production in late spring and early summer, helping Western growers take advantage of drier harvest conditions. Its heat and drought tolerance supports continued production as temperatures rise, while winter-hardy varieties help maintain productive stands from season to season.

Ideal for Livestock and Premium Hay Markets

HayMaster^® Pro produces highly palatable, digestible forage suitable for dairy cattle, beef cattle, and horses. Because the mixture can be customized, growers can select grasses that align with the nutritional needs of their livestock or the quality expectations of their target hay market.
