Excellent Pasture Grass Gains Recognition in U S Agriculture
Reed canary grass is now viewed as a valuable pasture and hay crop in moist cool climates. It thrives on swampy land, supports nine months of grazing on Pacific coast land, and yields four to seven months of grazing for dairy cows per acre. Hay yields reach four to ten tons per acre, though quality is limited. Seed costs remain high and breeders search for better strains to lower prices and expand use.
