Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation

Photograph of Photo of rice-grass rotation. Eighty acres of tall fescue grass in rotation with rice (4 years grass; 2 years rice). Twelve pounds of tall fescue seed and 200 pounds of 16-20-0 fertilizer were applied per acre by airplane in standing rice after last drainings in September of 1954. Rain and wet land caused severe rutting [i.e., when tires sink into wet soil causing trenches or furrows that displace soil and causes its possible compaction preventing roots in penetrating the soil] at the time of the rice harvest. Grass came up to a good stand and made good growth in spite of rutting condition of land. This 80 acres carried 40 cows from January 1 to August 1, 1955 and 40 from October 1 to this date, April 4, 1956. Thirty pounds of nitrogen applied per acre in December, 1955 and October, 1956. Fescue grass is planted in this rice filed to give the owner the added grazing and to improve the soil following the rice. TX-345-1.
