Lm <br />3 of 8 <br />1) Both shrubs are very palatable to grazing animals, which is desirable for forage, which <br />fits the use of dryland pasture. <br />.Z) The shrubs provide shade which allows the grasses to grow better around the shrubs. <br />.3) The shade lessens the evaporation from the grass plants, which results in a better <br />grass stand. <br />4) Better plant diversity in the field. <br />5) Since the shrubs grow taller, they should actually increase the forage in the field. <br />6) DRMS and NRCS also concurs that these are good additions for the dryland pasture <br />mix. <br />See the attached sheets from the University of Nevada on the benefits of Forage Kochia. <br />If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact myself, Ross Gubka or <br />Greg Lewicki.
