These renovated fields are dominated by alfalfa and contain various companion grasses such <br />as orchardgrass and smooth brome. Staats' fields also have a fair alfalfa composition. In <br />addition, desirable pasture grasses are being supplanted by Kentucky bluegrass, quackgrass, <br />meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis), tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea), buckhorn plantain, and <br />dandelion. Burbridge does not manage for alfalfa in his hay fields and does not regularly <br />renovate these fields because of shallow soils and rock ledges. Consequently these haylands <br />are dominated by a variety of desirable and increaser grasses, red and white Dutch clover, <br />weedy forb species and occasional alfalfa plants. <br />August 2013 (PR 08) 2.04.10 -35 <br />
