Abstract

"Research conducted in Missouri has demonstrated that establishing and managing native grasses and forbs can provide quality livestock forage, wildlife habitat and conservation benefits. Native warm-season grasses (NWSGs) can complement cool-season grass pastures in a rotation and provide a quality hay source. They can be a highly palatable forage for grazing livestock and can make excellent summer forage at times of the year when coolseason grass production becomes limited. For these reasons, establishment of NWSGs should be an integral part of a livestock pasture and grazing program." -- first page
