Cattlemen urged to favor perennial crops over yearly plantings
Byron Smith argues that long term pasture profitability lies with alfalfa and perennial lespedera rather than annual crops like corn or oats. He notes soil types in Pontotoc county vary greatly, with Bermuda grass thriving where moisture remains, while some soils require different grasses.
