Grasses planted in early spring should be warm season cover crops. The permanent grass seed <br /> should then be drilled into the cover crop in early fall without additional tillage. Grasses planted <br /> in the early fall should be permanent grasses and covered with straw mulch at a rate of 4,000 lbs. <br /> per acre immediately following seeding. The straw should then be crimped into the soil to <br /> control erosion until the grass becomes established. <br /> GRASSES <br /> Dryland mixture: <br /> Thickspike Wheatgrass (Critana)............................................................................5 1/2#PLS/Ac. <br /> Side-oats grama (Vaughn) ......................................................................................2 1/4#PLS/Ac. <br /> Switchgrass (Nebr.28).............................................................................................I 1/4#PLS/Ac. <br /> The planting of trees and shrubs is also part of the final reclamation plan. Below is the SCS list <br /> of trees and shrubs that are suitable for this area. <br /> TREES - Minimum of 100 trees, no more than 25%of any one species.
