Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Grazing lands are a very important resource in the eastern part of the United States. Thousands of farming operations in the Southeast depend on grasslands for their livelihood. Grazing lands cover 34 million acres or 10 percent of the land in nine southeast states. The value of the forage alone adds $4.4 billion to the economy of these states. Grassland management is more than just moving livestock from one pasture to another. It involves choosing and managing forages, soil fertility, fencing, water development and distribution, harvesting, resting grasslands and much more. This booklet discusses each of these subjects and takes you through a step by step process to develop a successful grazing plan that will work for you. It shows you options for grassland management, including different grazing systems.
