Hog prices likely above last year while cattle and lamb prices hold near 1944 levels, with pork constrained by smaller spring and fall crops and large lend-lease needs.

It provides pasture and hay value, tolerates wet conditions, and forms a rapid sod but may be drought resistant on upland soils and should not be relied on for hay on well drained soils.
