Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation
Photograph of mowing a Johnson Grass Meadow. A 27 acre bottomland field that is subject to overflow. “From May 1 to July 10 I had 34 head of beef stock on this grass,” said Earl Fish, “and the last of July, I got a hay crop that yielded at least a ton to the acre. I let the stock stay on the grass until about August 5 and I am now getting my second hay crop. I expect to make about ½ ton per acre this cutting, put the stock back to grazing and leave them until the first frost, probably in the middle of October. During the entire grazing period the stock have had access to about 30 acres of native grass on the hill, but they would only go up there at night for the cool breeze. No matter how early in the morning, I’d get out to the bottom land, the cows would already be there grazing and they’d stay on the Johnson grass all day.” OK-8596.
