The Adirondack PeakBlend is a combination of oats, crimson clover and radish. This mixture of grass, legume and broadleaf accomplishes most of the objectives while minimizing the risks of termination in the spring. Oats and radish will winterkill, which allows the producer to focus only on terminating crimson clover in the spring. This is very similar to the TillageMax Indy blend. However, we have substituted oats for annual ryegrass for those producers who have concerns with terminating cereal rye, triticale or annual ryegrass.
