Sericea Hay Proves Valuable On Local Farms
DeAnn Farmer and several other Hempstead county growers report sericea lespedera as a productive hay crop and soil builder. Two acres planted in 1948 yielded one to two tons per acre with 2–3 cuttings annually, and farmers like Samuels expanded plantings on eroded land. Sericea tolerates drought, roots deepen to three feet, and good stands persist with proper management.
