Abstract

"A multiyear demonstration was developed at the MU Bradford Research Farm to determine the benefits of establishing native cool- and warm-season grasses, forbs and legumes as alternative forages that could potentially be used to replace tall fescue as a forage for use by livestock producers and to enhance wildlife habitat. One of the primary objectives of this project was to evaluate the yields and forage quality of native grasses and forb-legume mixtures compared to tall fescue, a nonnative cool-season grass that is the primary forage in pastures across Missouri (Figure 1)." -- first page
