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.

But there are im mense areas in the West at present unutilized, except in the primitive fashion of the herdsman on the open range, on which the problem is to find grasses that will produce a crop under arid or semi-arid conditions. In so far as the solution of this difficulty has been ac complished, the results are set forth in discussing the individual grasses.

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.

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 Meadows and Pastures written by J. B. Killebrew and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Meadows and Pastures: A Compendium of the Grasses of Tennessee To His Excellency, Gov. A. S. Marks: The original work issued from this office, entitled "The Grasses of Tennessee," including Cereals and Forage Plants, was so popular that the means at my disposal were entirely inadequate to supply the demand from the farmers throughout the State. The members of the last House of Representatives having frequent calls for them from their constituents, passed a resolution authorizing me to publish seven thousand five hundred copies for their use, but requiring the expense of such publication to be paid out of the annual appropriation made to this department. As this appropriation was not immediately available, I was compelled to wait until a sufficient sum had accumulated to the credit of the department before putting this brochure to press. It is believed that for most farmers this little work will be as useful as the larger and more scientific manual, of which this is an abridgement. In this all the scientific terms have been excluded, and descriptions of all grasses of doubtful utility have been omitted. This edition embraces five thousand copies, and their distribution will no doubt increase the growing desire of our farmers to engage more largely in the cultivation of the grasses, at once the sign and support of a vigorous civilization.
