Grass Productivity (Conservation Classics)

A very good book for those who have a fundamental interest in range science as it presents much of the background behind what is commonly accepted as accurate today. With the background data, one can then tailors the data and guidance to their specific range.

It is a serious approach to grazing cattle, my wife owns a farm in Uruguay, with her brothers and sisters, cattle farming producing excellent hereford breed, nevertheless I as an architect who knows nothing about the subject brings this old and permanent idea, lots of discussions!!

This book told about rotational grazing. I was a bit dissapointed that it went into more of the math behind roatational grazing and did not tell more about how rotational grazing helped to improve the pastures and grass. Overall a very infomative book that you must read several times to take in all that is contained within.

Understanding this book would confer the knowledge of a college education in agriculture. I wish I read this book 40 years ago.Why was it not part of the agriculture curriculum?

Basic agricultutral science and practice, for what is so actual today again. Cows eat grass and 1/3 of the earth coverage is grass.Good basic knowledge to change actual cattle husbandry into sustainable grazing methods.Usefull and happy cattle, happy farmer, and rewarding environment.Cornelis

This is a good book and a have to read if you want to know about rotational grazing. This is more up to date information out now but this book explains some things the newer books do not.

Excellent, but you'll want the bigger book by the same author and subject. It has more details. This is just as it presents, a melding of two previous works.

It is outstanding that we are still reluctant to understand the proper use of grazing, The author is the original founder of "rational grazing" (1957 !!)and even for other non-temperate areas it is still a classic worth reading and rereading, not for nothing is the basis of Holistic Range Management by Savory.

It's all here - why and how we graze rotationally.
