Nebraska Pastures Worst in State's History
D. L. Gross, agricultural college extension agronomist, calls Nebraska pasture conditions the worst in history. He urges a reserve of supplementary feed and temporary pasture, noting overgrazing and heat have left most pastures unfit for spring grazing. He advises rye sowing, sudan in hot periods, fall rye, sweet clover, and a ready trench silo, with poor prospects for plowed reseeding without adequate subsoil moisture. For eastern Nebraska a mix of brome and alfalfa is suggested for year round grazing.
