By DON POWELL, Hemphill County Soil Conservation District
The picture above shows three blue grama grass plants.
These were grown near Claude, Texas, on the same kind of soil
with approximately the same rainfall. The only difference is
the way these plants were managed.
Richard Dewey and Van Mills, Range Conservationists with
the Soil Conservation Service, uncovered some eye opening
facts concerning these grass plañís. The plant on the left came
from a pasture that had not been grazed in three years. The
middle plant came from a pasture that was being properly
grazed. The plant on the right was from a pasture that had
been continuously close grazed. The ground was wet 9 inches
deep on the closely grazed pasture, 23 inches deep on the
properly grazed pasture, and 33 inches on the ungrazed pasture.
Apparently the amount of grass left on the land is very im-
portant for these reasons. First, the grass left on the land makes
more rainfall enter the soil, rather than running off down the
draw. Second, the grass shades the ground, cutting down evap-
oration of the soil moisture.
Another reason why moderate grazing helps to produce more
grass is apparent when you consider how a grass plant grows.
Grass takes water, nitrates, phosphates, potassium, calcium,
magnesium, sulfur, iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron,
molybdenum, and chlorine from the soil. With the aid of sun-
light, and carbon dioxide from the air, these elements arc
combined in the lant leaves to make proteins, carbohydrates,
starches, and fats. These proteins, carbohydrates, starches and
fats are essential for plant and animal growth.
Since these foods are manufactured in the leaves of plants,
grass that is continuously close grazed cannot produce much
food and therefore not much grass will be grown. It takes
grass to grow grass.
