Am in Ohio SE trying to find which grass to grow for sheep that might last through the winter.
So far, I think Rye grass, Kentucky blue grass and orchard grass. Which legumes are good also?

In reply to Leo. Cattle dung is mostly partly digested grasses plus the bacteria that help it decompose recycling the nutrients.In a properly managed pasture everything stays on the land building soil. You are thinking of an industrial feedlot or dairy.

I live in Ossining, NY, so I hesitate to question the way people earn their living on The Great Plains. But I have been reading about a couple of things that were not mentioned in this article: The contamination of the atmosphere caused by cattle excrement, and the promising work now underway that burns the Eastern Red Cedar, which have invaded the grasslands. Also reading a classic book by Ian Frazier, GREAT PLAINS. Thanks from a non-farmer for your emails.

It’s not a farmer. I’m a consumer who lives in the suburbs. I have been worried for years that our farmers are being pushed out by commercial farming operations and out of control development. I am pleased with the efforts of organizations mentioned in modern farmer and happy to read about success stories. Thank you for your efforts that so many don’t notice.
