The moment you said the grass was up to your pocket knife all the men watching said inside. "That's one I can take home to meet mama!" 😉 thanks for the info, planting now.

Is switchgrass and Johnson grass the same plant.

How well does wild rye stockpile?

Thanks for the video! I wish I could go back and see how the land looked like 300 years ago. I bet it was amazing back then.

Thanks for the video! I enjoy all the videos!

Great vid

Where are you located? I looked in the about section and couldn't find anything. Just wondering if this type of grass would work in East Texas - thanks!

The best N fixing bacteria - Texas Earth, Lubbock, TX The best mycorrhazie fungi - Big Foot, out of Oregon.

So, why don't my cows like switchgrass?

When I was in a bacteriology class in the 1960's it was know that free living nitrogen fixing bacteria was supplying the grass with nitrogen. The native grasses on the high plains are usually a mono-culture of a climax species. The soil type will determine this.

Wonderful video! I love how science is discovering more and more how interconnected plant communities are.

How can one identify switch grass accurately? Some people around here think it is invasive. I need to find out if we are talking about the same plant? I think there are patches around in a field I have. But this is in New England on the east coast. I want to regenerate this field. It was ravaged before I got it. Erosion and compaction. Used for chemically grown corn the last year by the previous owner. Badly plowed in a wet season and dosed so well very little grew the first year left alone. Now all kinds of succession of weeds like burdock and golden rod stinging nettle and milkweed. Plenty of dandelions, clover and raspberry too. Slowly the seed bank reveals.itself.

I love that word Photosynthing! Did you make that up? Photosynthesis really has too many syllables!

i have over 50 acrs of sg never fertilzed burn every spring grows lick mad stand over 20 yrs old wild life love it great stuff just planted some gama grass

Amy, Liz and I was sorry to hear of Rex's passing. I always like talking with him. You and your kids will miss him.

I have visited these folks and purchased seed from them with great results. Highly recommend Hamilton's.

In Germany, switchgrass is occasionally grown as an energy crop. Do these microbes have to be spread with the seed or do they also exist on soil where switchgrass has never grown before?

the synthetic process of making nitrogen fertilizer is actually a natural process that chemist have copied from nature. During thunderstorms lighting makes atmospheric nitrogen attach to water molecules in the rain. So as usual nature does it better.

Great talk! Thanks for the wonderful exposition on the Panicum's ability to fix nitrogen. I've often said that folks are way too fixated on this "nitrogen fixation" legume jive. Every youtube channel I visit seems to always claim you have to plant legumes to "fix nitrogen into the soil" and never stops to ask how nitrogen ever got into the soil if only legumes seem able to do it. And there's certainly no talk about all the other trace minerals and their impact on soil/plant health. Whenever someone mentions nitrogen, my first question is to ask them about the magnesium or calcium levels. It always makes their eyes go wonky as they realize that nitrogen isn't the only thing in the ground! Crazy days, honestly.

Could burning be helpful to transition a pasture from unwanted grasses / forges to native grasses? Might this current drought in Georgia be an opportune time to do that? I'd put proper fire lines, etc, get permission from local authorities, etc, of course.

Nitrogen in urea form is a dollar a pound granular around here. Great info!

Im in Ohio. What time of year is best to plant Silphiums? I would like to try establishing some in my pastures that are growing with plenty of grasses now. Maybe you could also make this on a post on your FB like page. Im already following you there. You have excellent information and videos. Thanks, Neil

Would love to see sample photos of a finished chuckwagon plot in wide shot and from seasons. I am in Appalachia and may or may not have a few livestock on sections of the palnted area. I do not want to maintain or fertilize and wildlife and asthetics are my main focus. All is open meadow skirted by forest and sloped at 330 ' north and west facing. All hand broadcasting.

Thanks for the video!

Go to polyface farm Joe salatin and see how he clears land and gets native grasses growing without burning and selectively cutting trees to save the best ones for future use

Awesome

Good idea to use trees!

Thanks for the video! How do they look like now?

It's at least one of the reasons quail populations have crashed. Quail chicks are adapted to fed and stay protected in native clump grasses. They can't get through fescue or other creeping grasses.

Looks like johnsongrass

What state are you in?

This is very helpful. Could you do more ID videos on some of the other native warm season grasses like switchgrass and eastern gamagrass?

This grows wild on our farm. It is a great mint plant for a mild, calming tea. Subtle peppermint flavor that’s not overpowering.

Love this! More stream restoration videos please

I have at least 150 black walnuts. Been planting Virginia Bluebells under them. They thrive!

Everyone wants better yield !

Good info. Thanks

Well, at least it isn't as bad as Bahia or Bermuda in places like Florida where native grasses were completely eradicated and now vast areas are covered in one of those species. Not that I am advocating for fescue.

Why did white hair replace a clean face ???? Is hair a " fescue " ???

Wow! What an asshole!!

Thanks for the video!

How does Bottle Brush stockpile? Im looking for an alternative to K31. As much as people like K31 I’m not too happy with its late spring performance. Maybe add some BB to our sward?

Thanks I found this due to finding Spider wort on my place. Right next to one of my many Black Walnuts.

Fescue bothers cows a lot more than my sheep. They eat the seed heads with no adverse affect due to the way they metabolize it. Fescue is the gift that keeps on giving!

The native grass would have to decrease parasite infestation at the higher grazing height.

I planted 23 acres into native prairie on my property in SE Iowa, which is mostly covered with cool season grasses and woods. There are also three ponds and 70 acres of clover/brome hay ground. For some odd reason, the deer really REALLY like this property.

Thanks for the video! I like these comparisons with different plants. I know this fall I’m going to plant native species but depending on how well it goes i might plant more in the future.

Thanks to the algorithm for sending this to me. Glad I found you.
