‘Native Grass Pays/
Says Bredemeier
By L. f" BREDEMEIER
Range Conservationist
An annual increased produc
tion of about 125,000 pounds of
beef is the effect of only one of
the conservation practices which
cooperators of the Holt Soil
Conservation District have estab
lished since the District started
in 1944.
This potential production is
made possible by the seeding of
native grasses. Of the 4,887 acres
of permanent seedings made in
the district, 3,013 consisted of na
tive grasses such as the blue
terns, switchgrass, Indian grass,
sand lovegrass, the gramas, etc.
These are the grasses that nature
gave us after the thousands of
years she used to evolve our soil
and vegetation. They have with
stood the uses, abuses, and tests
of time.
Most of these 3,000 acres of
seedings were made on land that
should never have been in culti
vation and when the grass is es
tablished Swill never in the im
agination of the present genera
tion be cultivated again. The
soils are either shallow, gravel,
sand or seriously blown and erod
ed. These 3,000 acres were either,
still in cultivation or had been ta
ken out and left idle from 1 to
15 years. The vegetation consist
ed of weeds, weedy grasses and
pioneer grasses as the rosette pa
nic grasses and sand dropseed.
The returns from such areas
ranged from nil to an estimated
20 pounds of beef per acre.
Observations and studies indi
cate that the native ranges in
good to excellent condition are
producing from 50 to 70 pounds
of beef per acre. Most of the 3,
000 seeded acres are capable of
producing such gains.
Consequently, if we allow for
the 20 pounds produced by "go
back" grasses before seeding,
we have an increase of 30 fo 50
pounds per acre as a result of
the seedings. Such gains on
3.000 acres mean 90.000 to 150,
000 pounds more beef. An av
erage of 125,000 pounds at 20
cents gives a return of $25,000
for one year from 3,000 acres.
It is no wonder that coopera
tors with the Holt Soil Conserva
tion District are seeding an ever
increasing acreage of native
grasses. There have been a num
ber of elements that contributed
to the acceptance of this practice,
besides the progressiveness of the
farmers and ranchers. The PMA
payments have helped as has the
educational program carried on
by the county agents. The orig
inal stimulus and driving force
behind the movement has largely
come from the Soil Conservation
Service personnel assigned to the
district who brought with them
the technical knowledge and ex
perience of the Soil Conservation
Service in working with the na
tive grasses for about 15 years.
The supervisors of the Holt Soil
Conservation District have help
ed greatly by making the seed of
these grasses available locally,
and by making available machin
ery for sowing it. This is one of
the big reasons why the Holt dis
trict has seeded more acres of na
tive grasses than any of the sur
rounding districts.
At top of this page is a record
of progress in the Holt district.
Many cooperators have inter
esting stories of success with the
native grass seedings. There are
also some experiences less en
couraging. However, seldom has
there been a complete failure
with such grasses. In some cases
it takes longer for the grass to
become established than seems
necessary. As a result of obser
vations and studies of seedings in
Holt county and throughout the
state, a few objectives should be
kept in mind.
First, elimination or reduce
drastically the competition of ex
isting vegetation such as weeds
ana weeay grasses. Second, pre
venHoiowing by maintaining a
cover and by the proper type ot
tillage. Third, pack and roll af
ter tne seeding operations. There
are a number of ways of accomp
lishing these objectives, the de
tails of which will vary to fit the
individual situation. Best results
have been obtained when the
seeding is made in a high stubble
of spring small grain, millet, cane
or sudan. Duckfooting of existing
“go-back” vegetation during a
dry period so as to get a good kill
will also work satisfactorily. The
disc has been used on existing
vegetation with fair results. The
disc tends to cut in excessively
on the sandier spots where the
vegetation is thinnest and tends
to leave the spots a little too
bare. At the same time it tends
to ride over the soddy and heavy
trashy spots where the need for
tillate is the greatest. The pack
ing is done with a regular roller
or packer.
Experience with legumes, es
pecially hairy vetch, in native
grass seedings in recent years
with more rainfall, point to the
possibility of using legumes to
speed up the establishment of
such seedings.
The death rate method and
date of seeding may vary in each
case depending on the kind of
soil, the kind of grasses being
sown, the quality and age of the
seed and the kind of equipment
to be used. It is the job of the
Soil Conservation Service techni
cian to diagnose each case and
make the recommendation on the
basis of these and related factors.
At the same time he helps work
out the best way to accomplish
the three objectives:
(1.) Eliminate competition.
(2.) Prevent blowing.
(3.) Pack.
Native grasses which have beer
seeded can be managed along
with the native ranges. Thgii
season of growth and use are the
same. The preferences by live
stock also correspond. Frequent
ly old farmed patches and areas
to be seeded will be fenced in thr
same pasture with native rangr
because of size, location, accessi
bility to water and the herd man
agement of the ranch. If thesi
areas were seeded to introducer
grasses we have a difficult man
agement problem. The season o
growth and use is earlier for th
introduced grasses than for th
native. Cattle cannot be turner
into a pasture having both kind:
of grasses without hurting eacl
of them at one time or another
A pure seeding of any one of the
native grasses, such as sand love
grass for grazing purposes, alsc
j requires special managemenl
from that of a mixture of native
grasses. When a single species of
native grass is seeded primarily
for grazing and not for seed pro
duction, it should be a large
enough area so that it can be
fenced in a separate pasture and
managed as one.
The introduced grasses as in
termediate, crested and tall
whaaigrass and bromegrass
have a place in range seedings
in Holt county. Their primary
advantage lies in the fact that
with them we can lengthen the
grazing season.
These grasses grow early in
the year when nitrification pro
cos's in the soil is slow. They
also have a higher nitrogen and
moisture requirement than the
native grasses. Practically all
me soils in Holt county are na
turally low in nitrogen with the
sandiest being the lowest. Con
sequently, tne introduced grass
seeuings are most satisfactory on
tne medium and heavier textured
soils. Areas where there is an
considerable advantage. An old
accumulation of moisture by ov
erflow or sub-irrigation has a
alfalfa field or a previous crop of
sweet clover are especially pre
ferred. It is also much preferred
to maintain these or other le
gumes in the mixture with these
grasses so as to hold up their pro
ductivity. Commercial fertilizer,
especially, nitrogen will need to
be added where legumes are ab
sent from the stand. Eventually
it will probably be necessary to
plow up fields seeded to these
grasses and start over.
Those who have old farmed ar
eas where the top producing
grasses are lacking cannot afford
not to seed them. To plan their
seeding program they should de
cide what use will be made of the
grass. How it will fit into their
grazing management program
and will they be able to manage
and utilize it properly? Will* it
give the maximum net return?
Will the grass under considera
tion give the most production pv
, er a period of years on the soil
! and moisture under considera
| tion.
