Stockaide® | Yellow Jacket®

Build Productive Pastures Where Rainfall Is Scarce

When rainfall is extremely limited, every acre has to work harder. Stockaide^® | Yellow Jacket^® is a premium dryland pasture mixture developed specifically for the harshest grazing environments. Designed for regions receiving just 7–12 inches of annual precipitation, Stockaide^® combines drought-tolerant grasses powered with Yellow Jacket^® enhanced seed coating to help establish resilient, productive pastures where traditional forage mixtures struggle.

Why Choose Stockaide^® | Yellow Jacket^®?

Built for Extremely Low Rainfall

Stockaide^® | Yellow Jacket^® was developed for range and dryland pastures receiving just 7–12 inches of annual precipitation. It performs well in new seedings, interseeding projects, and areas with limited irrigation, including spring runoff irrigation systems commonly found throughout the western United States.

Engineered for Harsh Conditions

Stockaide^® | Yellow Jacket^® combines hardy perennial grasses selected specifically for persistence and forage production under extreme environmental stress. Rather than relying on standard pasture species, it uses varieties chosen to withstand drought while maintaining productive grazing. The mixture includes:

• Hamann™ creeping wheatgrass for exceptional drought tolerance and persistence.
• Premium crested wheatgrass for dependable early-season forage production.
• Siberian wheatgrass for improved adaptation to dry conditions.
• Russian wildrye and wheatgrass species for long-term productivity and grazing performance.

Increase Grazing, Reduce Feed Costs

By improving forage production in extremely dry environments, Stockaide^® | Yellow Jacket^® helps producers increase grazing opportunities while reducing reliance on harvested feed. It is also well suited for stockpiling, providing additional flexibility throughout the grazing season.

Proven Drought Performance

Hamann™ creeping wheatgrass, exclusive to Barenbrug USA, has demonstrated exceptional drought tolerance and persistence. In a Montana State University private trial conducted under below-average precipitation and snowfall with no irrigation beyond natural rainfall, Hamann™ produced substantial biomass, demonstrating the resilience behind Stockaide^® | Yellow Jacket^®.

Powered by Yellow Jacket^®

Every seed of Stockaide^® | 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 retain moisture around the seed during germination. This promotes faster establishment, stronger early seedling growth, and improved stand establishment when moisture is limited.
