| Description |
Meadow Foxtail (Alopecurus pratensis) is a perennial grass, belonging to the grass family and is most prominently used in Pacific Northwest. It flowers from April to June and is one of the earliest types to do so. Often confused with Timothy grass which flowers after Meadow Foxtail and is identified by the soft, single awn versus twin horns common of Timothy.

| Harvesting and Yields |
| This species, like creeping foxtail, is earlier growing than most grasses, and is ready for hay harvest in mid-June. Regrowth after cutting is very rapid, resulting sometimes in two or three cuttings in one year. If grown for hay it should be cut when in bloom. The stems then contain a great amount of sugar, making the hay sweet and nutritive. Hay productivity ranges 4, 5-7 ,5 MT/hectare. |

| Finishing and Packaging |
| Offered in double compressed hay finished as either full bale or ½ cut. |
