Prairie Grass Could Be Helped to Make Comeback
Missouri prairie once covered 40 percent of the state and hosted tall bluestem, Indian and switchgrass. Now remnants remain as agronomists from the University of Missouri and Soil Conservation Service reexamine natives for pastures. The Missouri Prairie Foundation promotes restoration, owning 260 acres near Gold City named Golden Prairie and other preserves. Don Christisen of the Missouri Department of Conservation advises, noting native grasses require less care but seed is scarce in Missouri and guidance is available from MU Extension.
