This flyer highlights warm-season perennial grasses as a practical forage option for livestock producers managing hot, dry summer conditions. Designed for customer handouts, agronomy conversations and livestock producer education, it explains how warm-season grasses can help maintain forage quantity and quality when fescue-based pastures slow down.
The piece compares native warm-season grass and seeded Bermuda grass using key factors such as establishment cost, pH requirements, fertilizer needs, yield potential and nutritional quality. It also reinforces how selecting the right warm-season grass can support profitability and reduce the need for summer hay supplementation.
Ideal for farm supply counters, forage planning conversations, producer meetings, livestock events and customers looking for ways to improve summer grazing and hay production.
