Grass seed production
provides an opportunity
for farmers to diversify
their farming operation
and increase farm income.
Many perennial grasses
used in seeding improved
pasture and reseeding
rangeland where brush
control has been done are
in short supply. There has
been a great demand for
grasses such as blue
panicum, Kleingrass, Gor-
do bluestem, and Bell
rhodesgrass. Climate and
soils of the Medina Valley
Soil and Water’ Conserva-
tion District are excellent
for producing these grass-
es.
Many of these grasses
make two seed crops each
year One in the spring
and one, in the fall. The
grasses can be harvested
- with a combine without
special equipment or ex-
tensive modification In-
come in excess of $400 per
acre was reported last year
from,one harvest of Klein-
grass seed.
Most grasses are inde-
terminate seeders, which
means that all of the seed
is never ready to harvest
at the same time.
The Soil Conservation
Service provides technical
assistance to farm opera-
tors interested in grass
seed production .
