Reed canarygrass, ryegrass and garrison creeping foxtail (1993)

Reed canarygrass is a tall-growing, cool season perennial with a rhizomatous root system (it roots by sending out runners). Ryegrass is a palatable bunch grass that may be used as a winter annual and will make a quick top growth and heavy root development. It usually is effective when seeded in late summer or early fall as a winter cover crop and nurse crop for longer-living legumes and grasses. Garrison Creeping Foxtail is a rhizomatous cool season grass that starts growth early in spring and grows late in fall if moisture is available. This publication provides further information on these plants

Red clover (1993)

Red clover (Trifolium pratense L), a short-lived perennial, is the most widely grown of all the true clovers. Classifying red clover is sometimes confusing, but the red clovers grown in the United States may be grouped into two divisions -early flowering and late flowering. This publication provides information about red clover

Crownvetch (1993)

Crownvetch, Coronilla varia L., is a cool season, hardy, perennial legume. It is not a true vetch, although it resembles common and hairy vetch. Crownvetch spreads from rhizomes and will form a dense cover. It has been used for soil stabilization and as an ornamental for many years. This publication provides some general information about crownvetch

Seed production of tall fescue and other cool season grasses (1995)

Most of the fescue harvested for seed in Missouri is used for fall and winter grazing. This is an excellent way to maximize the total fescue crop, but often results in seed yields that are lower than would be expected if fescue is managed primarily for seed. For highest seed yields, fescue should be seeded in rows and cultivated. However, this is seldom done in Missouri when the seed crop is secondary to the production of forage. This publication provides information about seed progress of tall fescue and other cool season grasses

Establishing forages (1996)

Avoid forage seeding failures by using research-proven procedures. Seeding failures are costly, not only in seed and labor cost, but in providing inadequate feed the following year. Adequate moisture, temperature, plant nutrients, air and light are necessary for plant growth. These may be affected by time of seeding, seedbed preparation, seed quality, analysis and amounts of fertilizer, fertilizer placement, and manipulation of competing species such as weeds and/or companion crops. This guide provides information for establishing forages

The bluegrasses (1993)

There are multiple varieties of bluegrasses in Missouri. This publication provides some general information about these bluegrasses as well as guidelines for maintaining them

Corn silage for beef cattle (1993)

Corn silage is a popular feed with Missouri cattle feeders. Harvesting corn as silage furnishes 50 to 60 percent more nutrients per acre for beef cattle than harvesting the grain alone, an important consideration for a cattle feeding enterprise that is tied closely to the farm feed supply.Reviewed October 1993 -- Extension website

Forages for swine (1993)

Use of good pasture containing alfalfa, ladino clover, and grass can lower sow feed costs, help maintain high level reproductive capacity of boars, and in many cases increase litter size as compared to confinement raising of hogs

White, ladino and sweet clover (1993)

This publication provides some basic information about white, ladino, and sweet clover including plant characteristics, uses and management, cultural practices and diseases and insects
