Aren't our native grasses amazing? I guess amazing and rollable don't have to go together. I hug basin wildrye, but I'm only tempted to roll in grasses on the Plains, with their long summer rains. <br /><br />Also, I picked an unanswerable question, about what the plants need. I hope no one asks me if cattle need to be eaten (because I'm going to go on enjoying beef, whatever the answer).Cindy Salohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02715863886359333227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448805802839922663.post-47912550984174868872015-10-04T09:10:05.904-06:002015-10-04T09:10:05.904-06:00Hi Cindy, it seems incredible to me that research ...Hi Cindy, it seems incredible to me that research hasn't settled this question. However, our grasslands and the variables that influence them are hugely complex. Combine that with the long list of grazing methods (time, timing, density, etc.) and it is a confounding question. Someone said "there are no answers, only the search." What we can agree on is how valuable our perennial grasses are, not to mention lovely and awe-inspiring. W. R.
