Grazing native grasses in mid-summer is becoming a widely adapted component of effective pasture management. Converting part of your pasture operation to native grasses has the following advantages:

• Native warm season grasses are active in the hottest/driest part of the year and require very little precipitation to remain active.
• Protein levels in native warm season grasses peak at 12-14% in July, August and September.
• Native grasses require little management.
• Native grasses typically do not require replanting.
• Native grasses do not require nitrogen or other expensive fertility amendments and grow well on marginal lands.
• Native grasses are extremely palatable.

With FDC Enterprises' extensive knowledge and experience in pasture conversions to native grasses, you will have high protein summer pasture available to your animals within 12-18 months after establishment.
