Sideoats Grama Emerges As Key For Runnels District Pasture
Ronald Rugh of the Soil Conservation Service identifies sideoats grama as the area’s premier native warm season grass. He notes April growth, July to September seed, and high forage yield. The grass thrives on well drained uplands, needs rest periods, and adapts to a range of soils.
