Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grass in Conservation in the United States As far back as records go into civilization's dawn, grass has been a solid base for agriculture. Through the centuries it has provided most of the forage for livestock feed and cereals for man's own food. In the United States in the past generation grass has gained new eminence as a tool in soil and water con servation. Today it occupies a dual role of production and protection in American agriculture. The withering drought and the financial depression of the 1930's triggered an agricultural revolution that brought forth a new national program to halt soil erosion and protect renewable natural resources. With it new grassland science emerged, and new grasses and legumes for forage grow on nearly half the land area of the United States. A return of about 17 billion dollars annually comes from the livestock and poultry that eat grasses, grains, hay, and silage. On the farms of America before 1930, grass was often looked upon as a resource of minor value. In the South and in the Great Plains, farmers grew mostly clean-tilled row crops and small grains. In most of the country, improved pastures occupied a position of minor importance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Range Grasses of California Classic Reprint written by Arthur William Sampson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Range Grasses of California To apply the best methods of range management, the stockman must be able to judge the condition of the range for himself. To do this he must know the principal forage plants, their period of life, and their requirements as to reproduction. The illustrated keys, brief descriptions, and pictures of the plants should assist him in this. The purpose of this bulletin is (1) to familiarize stockmen with the more important grasses of the State and show where they grow, and (2) to point out their forage value and the conditions under which the different kinds reproduce under grazing. This is a necessary pre liminary to the development of state-wide range reseeding methods now under investigation. In the preparation of this paper the authors have made use of the valuable collections and data in the grass herbarium of the United States Department of Agriculture. Several Of the illustrations were lent by the Department. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Key to the Native Perennial Grasses-Midwest Region East of the Great Plains: Abstracted From Hitchcock's Manual of the Grasses A guide, Key to the Native Perennial Grasses - Midwest Region East of the Great Plains, was prepared in 1965 as a working tool for scs conservationists in the Midwest to use in identifying native perennial grasses found in their particular work area. The demand for the guide by specialists outside the Soil Conservation Service became so great, scs decided to publish it. The taxonomic key includes native perennial grass Species found in Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Minne sota, Iowa, Missouri, and the eastern parts of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas. To differentiate between native grass Species and some exotic Species having Similar morphological characteristics, several of the more common exotic Species are included in the key and illustrations. They are noted by exotic in parentheses. Native grasses still are found in Significant amounts in some parts of the Midwest region east of the Great Plains physiographic province though few Species are found in any given local area. They occur primarily on nonarable grassland soil, in natural savannas, in cutover forest land, marshes, and bogs, and on abandoned cropland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Louisiana Conservationist, Vol. 15: January-February, 1963 It is gratifying to me to note that in the past year there has been an obvious interest in grass roots conservation education and more public interest in the wildlife and fisheries resources of the state, their management, utilization, and perpetuation. This is not a sudden awakening on the part of the people of Louisiana. On the contrary, this growing interest can be interpreted as the result of a progressive campaign by the Louisiana Wild Life and Fisheries Commission to bring about an interest on the part of all the people in the state in these natural resources which mean so much to so many people. In making our plans for the months ahead, it would further the good which has already been accomplished for us to redouble our efforts so that this growing interest in Louisiana's wildlife and fisheries resources will be-passed along from person to person.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical and expertly illustrated field guide to over one hundred grasses, sedges, and rushes "No one will be able to claim that the identification of grasses, sedges, and rushes, which are of fundamental importance both environmentally and economically, are simply 'too difficult' after they have learned to use this excellent guide."--Peter Raven, President Emeritus, Missouri Botanical Garden This elegant and easy-to-use guide is an updated and amended revision of Lauren Brown's seminal Grasses: An Identification Guide, which was first published in 1979. While maintaining the spirit and goals of the original edition--a portable, straightforward, and user-friendly guide for naturalists and plant enthusiasts--the new edition features more than one hundred grasses, sedges, and rushes that are presented with line drawings and color photographs, concise descriptions, and details on the uses of various plants throughout history. In addition, the authors are careful to highlight the subtle differences in similar species to avoid confusion, as well as offering relevant notes on plant survival strategies, invasiveness, and how different plants fit within the broader ecological landscape. Devoid of technical jargon, this volume is an indispensable tool for those curious about the often-overlooked grasses, sedges, and rushes that surround us.
Download or read book Grass Productivity An Introduction to Rational Grazing written by Dr. Robert C. Worstell and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-01-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SIMPLE questions often help us to understand problems better; and I think it indispensable, at the beginning of this work, to ask a question which appears simple in the extreme: "What is grazing?" The answer is generally as follows: "Causing grass to be eaten by an animal." That is correct! But here is another answer which, to my mind, is more realistic: "Causing the grass and the animal to meet." Since this book is almost exclusively concerned with grazing by cattle, I propose the following definition to the reader, requesting him to allow it to become well impressed upon his mind: Grazing is the meeting of cow and grass. It is by satisfying as far as possible the demands of both parties that we will arrive at a rational grazing, which will provide us with maximum productivity on the part of the grass while at the same time allowing the cow to give optimum performance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economic Possibilities of Seeding Wheatland to Grass in Eastern Colorado: Ars 43-64 From 3 to 6 years are needed to Obtain a usable stand Of grass. Dur ing this period, expenses are relatively large and little or no income is received from the land. TO help meet the costs Of seeding grass, the Agricultural Conservation Program provides cost-share assistance aver aging about 50' percent Of the costs with a limit Of about $5 an acre for approved practices. The conservation-reserve part Of the Soil Bank Program provides up to 80 percent Of the costs and an annual payment Of up to $7 per acre for a period Of 5 to 10 years, when the land is seeded to grass under the program. Under the Soil Bank, however, land cannot be grazed except under unusual circumstances, and then only by permission Of the Secretary Of Agriculture.

Download or read book Fact Book of U S Agriculture Classic Reprint written by United States Department Of Agriculture and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-05 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fact Book of U. S. Agriculture In the 50 States there are nearly billion acres of land. About 80 percent of it, including the forest land, can be used for agriculture. Without conservation measures, large amounts of topsoil and sometimes acres and square miles of land can be lost to the sea. Improperly used, land becomes scarred and barren. In theory, however, the four basic resources of agricultural land - soil, water, grass, and forests - are endlessly renewable. With the means and methods of production based on the knowledge now at hand, land can be used and replenished indefinitely. More than 60 percent of the land area in the 50 States is privately owned. All u.s. Citizens share in the Federal ownership of a third of the Nation's land area. Federally owned land is used for timber, grazing, mineral development, parks, national monuments, wilderness and primitive areas, and other public purposes. National Forests and Grasslands total 186 million acres. The people, through State and local governments, share also in the ownership of about another 5 percent of the land area of the United States.
