With drought stress, pastures recover slowly and fall grazing may be limited. Overseeding with small grains such as wheat barley and cereal rye or cool season legumes like crimson clover can extend grazing into winter and spring. Rape and turnips offer overwintering feed, reducing winter feed costs and labor while lowering disease risk from crowding.
