Grass Pasture
Photograph of Rogers, left, and Robert N. Wall, SCS technician, examining 30-acres field seeded to native grass in April, 1948. Rogers sowed little bluestem 10 lbs. an acre, blue grass 2 lbs. an acre, and sand lovegrass 1 lb. an acre. Drilled in 7-inch rows on row sorghum stubble of year before. Disked lightly. This field had been in cultivation about 20 years , mostly peanuts and row feed. "Wouldn't hardly pay gas and oil bill then," says Rogers. Planting first grazed in 1950 with 42 head of cattle June 15 to Sept. 1. Rogers' grazing plan is to use the planting some in spring, take off when about half used, then winter on the field. 7RP-III

Grass Pasture
Photograph of four acres of an 18-acre native grass pasture seeded March 16, 1947. These four acres were cut for hay on Aug 1, 1951. Hay yield was 242 bales. Figuring 50 bales to the ton, that's slightly more than two tons to an acre. Grass had never been grazed. Grass was mowed to within 4 inches of ground, averaged 10 inches in height when picture was taken (three weeks after mowing). Bluestem in distant background in part of same 1947 planting, was not out for hay. Easterling plans to use the 18-acre planting for winter grazing.
