Reed Canary Grass Opens Wet Muckland Pasture Potential
Leyton Nelson of Michigan State College notes that wet mucklands can become productive pasture using reed canary grass. Ideal planting occurs in summer low water, before August 15, or late fall if needed. Five pounds seed per acre, 300 to 400 pounds fertilizer per acre with 0-20-20 or similar formula, followed by rolling. Seedlings need a year to establish and clipping may curb annual weeds.
