Description

Creeping red fescue seed production began in Canada in the 1930s. It developed into a dual purpose crop that provided revenue from the seed production in the summer and the grazing in the fall. The seed was used for lawns, fairways, pastures and soil conservation purposes. Markets for creeping red fescue seed expanded as the need arose for a turf-forming grass to seed on airfields and around military bases.
