Kleingrass/Seed

---

     Freddi Abatti Companies grow and harvest Kleingrass in the Imperial Valley, CA. Kleingrass is another perennial crop that is relatively newer feed compared to other grass hay. It is a native of Africa and was introduced to the United States in the 1950’s. Our Kleingrass is predominately distributed in the export markets. Kleingrass is grown as a pasture grass; but in the Imperial Valley, Kleingrass is farmed to make Kleingrass Hay. It produces a large amount of forage for animals. We harvest our Kleingrass at a younger stage of growth to produce a soft, leafy grass hay with fine stems. It is full of nutrients and is quite palatable for several types of animals.  We produce both Big 3X4 bales and Small 3-tie bales.

     We also grow Kleingrass Seed. Kleingrass is drought-tolerant and does well in hot climates. The Kleingrass plant can grow on saline soils and requires an amount of sodium for effective photosynthesis.
