Photograph of grassland Utilization. Baling Bermuda grass and Kobe lespedeza for the hay following combining of big yellow hop clover seed. The hay yield was 35 bales per acre and the seed yield was 40 pounds per acre. This field is also used as pasture. The cattle were taken off the field on May 10, 1956 to allow time for grass and lespedeza growth for hay and for the seed to mature for combining. Cattle were placed on this immediately after this harvest. OK-334-5.

Photograph of raking three windrows at one time behind combine preceeding baleing. This operation follows immediately after combining. The type of baler used requires a large windrow for efficient operation. This land is also used for pasture. The cattle were taken off on May 10 to allow time for the clover seed to mature. 40 pounds of cleaned seed per acre were harvested from this land.

Photograph of a wind rower attachment to mower to windrow mixture of yellow hop clover, bermuda grass and Kobe lespedeza so seed in yellow hop clover can be combined with pick-up attachment on combine. Windrower turns swath gently with minimum loss of seed. Note how bottom end of stems are turned out holding leaves unside for ideal curing of hay. Windrower and pick-up attachment on combine permit drying efficently and harvesting for seed. Ater combining of seed, grass and clover will be baled for winter feed. Cattle were removed from this pasture on May 10.
