Native warm season grass yield and quality

SEDALIA, Mo. – Beginning in the spring of 2020, I worked with the Ag Department at State Fair Community College to establish native warm season grass plots. The following species were planted: Switchgrass, Indiangrass, Big Bluestem, and Little Bluestem. Sideoats grama and Eastern gamagrass were planted but did not establish well enough to be considered a successful stand and were not harvested.
