Native Grass is ideally suited to the Ozark terrain and provides wonderful forage during the summer months. See how this a working cattle operation utilizes native grass to produce more forage during the summer months to lengthen the grazing season and reduce costs. Attendees will see established stands, hear about newly planted stands and also stands that have a mix of natives and fescue. Plant ID, cost-share, planting times, ground preparation and more will be talked about. There will be ample time for questions from attendees too!     

This pasture walk will have a special hour long section starting at 4 PM for any FFA student wanting to attend. They will be able to get hand on forage ID and any forage questions answered in a student setting.   

Attendees will meet on Crabtree Road (Davisville) at the Davisville Bridge (crossing Huzzah Creek) at 4:45 PM. Everyone will consolidate into high clearance vehicles and proceed to the farm at 5 PM.
