Grassland Contestupdates20th Annual Mid-AmericaGrassland Evaluation ContestMelinda Barch, USDA-NRCS.

The 2019 Mid-America Grassland Evaluation Contest was held June 4th & 5th in Springfield, MO. FFA and 4-H teams from Arkansas, Missouri, and West Virginia competed in this year’s competition. Students qualified for this contest by being the best from their state competitions. Fifty-one students from 14 teams, including 8 FFA and 6 4-H teams competed for high scoring team and high scoring individual awards.Since this is a national contest and teams come from other states, a practice contest was set up for them to sharpen their skills. During the practice contest students are able to ask questions to the section leaders for further clarification. This year’s practice contest was held on the Sam Baird property. After the practice contest students are encouraged to visit a special site set up for Plant Identification.After practice, teams are invited back to MDC’s Andy Dalton’s Shooting Range at Bois D’ Arc Conservation Area for lunch. After lunch the students hung out playing corn-hole, washer toss or on their phones. While doing this a coaches meeting was convened to answer any last-minute questions prior to the next day’s contest. Weather on contest day was a little warm but dry, as the students rotated through the 4 sections on 25-minute intervals, Grassland Condition, Soils Interpretation, Plant Identification and Wildlife Habitat. The contest was held on the Steve Squibb property.Teams competing in the 4-H category included: Missouri – Aurora, Licking and Audrain County; Arkansas – Randolph County, Madison County, and Fulton County; FFA teams competing included: Arkansas – Pocahontas, Missouri – Mt. Ver-non, Rolla, Aurora, Troy and Lakeland; West Virginia – Cabell Midland and Ravenswood.When the scoring was complete there were three teams that scored 1000 points or more out of a possible 1200 points. The top 5 high scoring teams in both FFA and 4-H received awards. As well as the top 5 high scoring individuals in both FFA and 4-H.The 2019 Mid-America Grassland Evaluation Contest high scoring FFA team was Ravenswood West Virginia with 1069 points. Mt. Vernon Missouri was 2nd with 1027 points, Rolla Missouri was 3rd with 976 points, Aurora Missouri was 4th with 944 points, and Troy Missouri was 5th with 855 points.The 2019 Mid-America Grassland Evaluation contest high scoring 4-H team was Aurora Missouri with 1036 points.Randolph County Arkansas was 2nd with 907 points, Madison County Arkansas was 3rd with 895 points, Licking Missouri was 4th with 787 points and Audrain County Missouri was 5th with points 783.Individual award winners for FFA were: 1st place Fiona Lane-Ravenswood WV 377 points, 2nd place Katlyne Rollyson -Ravenswood WV 362 points, 3rd place Colton Hicks-Mt. Vernon MO 352 points. There was a tie for 4th place. The contest rules indicate that in case of a tie the Plant ID score will be used to determine the winner. The Plant ID score broke the tie. The 4th place FFA individual was Isabelle Fox-Mt. Vernon MO with 348 points, 5th place Luke Sullivan-Rolla MO 348 points.Individual award winners for 4-H were: 1st place Elizabeth Martin-Aurora MO 357 points, 2nd place Riley Pope-Aurora MO 351 points, 3rd place Taylor Donner-Randolph CO AR 337 points, 4th place Caitlyn Kaye-Aurora MO 328 points and 5th place Cody Ogden-Madison CO AR 325 points.This year’s overall high scoring individual went to Fiona Lane-Ravenswood WV FFA with 377 points.The overall high scoring team went to Ravenswood WV with 1069 points. The overall high scoring team and coach recei-ved a plaque, medals and a backpack.Awards were sponsored by Missouri Department of Natural Resources Soil & Water Conservation Program and Missouri Southern Seed Inc. from Rolla, MissouriCongratulations to all the teams and individuals that competed in this year’s contest.

THROUGH a Conservation Innovation Grant from USDA Natural Resources Conservation

Services, the University of Missouri is developing tools to improve the yield and nutritive value of pasture forages.

One of the newest technologies, Pad-dockTrac, helps producers make sound decisions on when to graze and when to fertilize pastures, according to Exten-sion Dairy Specialist Stacey Hamilton. It also helps producers track forage inventory and decide where to graze cattle first, and then consider if there is extra forage to harvest for hay or silage.

In 2006, a Grazing Wedge tool (graz-ingwedge.missouri.edu) was developed to help farmers with these decisions. To use the tool, farmers still had to walk over pastures, using rising plate meters, to measure forage yield. They manually entered data into the website every week.

The Grazing Wedge website helped for-age managers for years but required a lot of time walking across pastures to take measurements and then manually enter the data on the website every week. “This process needed to be improved to reduce the labor needed to collect the necessary data,” said Ryan Lock, a research special-ist at the University of Missouri.

An improved approachHamilton, Lock, and Missouri Exten-

sion Forage Specialist Rob Kallenbach made the process easier, more afford-able, and less time consuming when they developed the PaddockTrac app. The automated tool uses ultrasonic sensors to measure forage yield in pas-tures. Sensors mounted on an all-terrain vehicle send data to the producer’s smartphone via Bluetooth.

PaddockTrac stores both GPS location and forage height 10 times per second on the user’s smartphone. The phone uploads data to a GIS-based website and then an online tool accurately assigns the data to an individual paddock. Once completed, the producer can see their Grazing Wedge showing forage yield in each paddock, sorted from high to low. This allows producers to be proactive in their decision-making, said Hamilton.

“Basically, the tools give a weekly

forage inventory of your farm,” Ham-ilton explained. “Instead of knowing how many bales of hay you have stored in the barn and then subtracting bales as they are used, or adding bales, the tools tell you how much forage you have available for feed or harvest.”

PaddockTrac also lets producers decide if their pregrazing forage mass is right for the desired postgrazing residual. “How long cows stay on a paddock; the amount of supplement needed, if any; nitrogen application; and the amount of forage available for haying or silage

can be estimated through the use of these web-based tools,” Hamilton said. “As a result of proper measurement and monitoring, improvements in forage yield, enhanced nutritive value, improved longevity of stands, and better utilization of forage by grazing animals can be real-ized. This app allows adaptive manage-ment strategies in forage systems that mitigate overgrazing, degraded plant vigor, and soil loss.”

The team’s first attempt to use ultrasonic sensor technology began in 2008. “The initial idea came from our need to measure hundreds of paddocks each week for Kallenbach’s grazing experiments,” said research specialist Danny England.

England located sensors that fed data into a military-grade laptop computer mounted onto an all-terrain vehicle. It could withstand rugged travel over pastures. However, the cost of the mili-tary-grade laptop made this option too expensive for most farmers, Hamilton said, and drove the team to find another means that made the tools user-friendly and affordable for the average producer.

Extension specialists in Missouri offer group and one-on-one training on how to use the grazing tools as part of an integrated system.

User provenFourth generation Monett, Mo., dairy

farmer Mike Meier and his wife, Janan, know the value of incrementally putting new systems in place. They are beta testers for the PaddockTrac program. Working on this project and others has improved the Meier’s profits and herd health. It also has given them more time to spend with family.

Meier is a believer in the Paddock-Trac system that gives him better profits in the unstable dairy industry. Naysayers are “leaving money on the table,” he commented.

He estimates that those not using technology can lose 5 to 7 pounds of milk per cow daily. Hamilton agreed. When farmers get cows to eat nutri-ent-filled grass, it means better gains, more milk, and healthier cows.

Long-term benefits of the research give producers the incentive to try new ideas. “The biggest motive to stick with it is profit,” Meier said.

Some people yearn for data-driven methods; others find them a burden. “It is very difficult to manage what you don’t know,” Meier explained. Hamil-ton said the key is to start slow and improve the operation each year. •

PASTURE

Come … join me for a pasture walk.

I know you’ve already walked through lots of pastures, many times, but a formal pasture walk is different. We won’t just cross fields to watch animals or chase them; instead, we’ll walk slowly, focusing on the forages, not the livestock. We’ll look at the pasture from a grazier’s perspective.

We’ll consider that our real crop is sunlight, that our forages are the photosynthetic machinery that harvests the sunlight, and that our animals are the sunlight products we sell in the market. You won’t be bored. If you’ve never done a real pasture walk, there’s quite a lot to see. And it won’t take long; I’ll get you back in time for the next page. Oh yes, grab yourself a pair of rubber boots; it’s wet out there.

Let’s start with this grazed field behind the barn. It’s about 10 acres with a border of trees and a stream at the far end. Notice that there are no cross-fences. The owner told me he pulled his animals off 14 days ago, so we are looking at two weeks of regrowth. Hmm. Not very much, even though we’ve had good weather lately with some rain. Let’s come back to this item in a few minutes.

Look at the color of the grass. It’s a bright, light green. Looks nice, eh? To some folks that would be beautiful, but not to me. What does that color really tell us? As you look around the field, you’ll see lots of patches of darker green with taller growth. Look carefully at those patches; their forage is deep green and very dense. It’s obvious that each square inch in these patches contains far more leaf area than the surrounding ground. Leaf area means more sunlight captured and more feed for our animals.

Let’s take a walkWoody Lane, Ph.D., for Progressive Forage

We’ll consider that our real crop is sunlight, that our forages are the photosynthetic machinery

that harvests the sunlight, and that our animals are the sunlight products we sell in the market.

AT A GLANCE

The pasture is trying to tell you something; are you listening? The

real crop in a pasture is not animals or grass; it’s sunlight.

Well, those deep-green patches are manure or urine patches, and they tell me the field is low in nitrogen or phosphorus. Manure contains nitrogen and phosphorus; urine contains nitrogen in the form of urea. Those taller plants are getting enough nutrients to support a fast regrowth, while the surrounding plants are not. In practical terms, a slow regrowth translates to a longer waiting period before livestock can go back into the field.

Before we started, the farmer told me he has spread manure on this field for years, and last fall he had also applied 60 pounds of urea fertilizer. That’s 60 pounds of fertilizer per acre. Urea is only 46 percent nitrogen. (The label on the bag lists “46-0-0-0.”) Therefore, those 60 pounds of fertilizer really equate to only 28 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Frankly, that’s not very much nitrogen. Also, urea is quite soluble and, in this region, this form of nitrogen is only effective for approximately 60 days. That’s why the grass was light green; in spite of the manure applications, it is still starved for nitrogen.

Here’s a story: Last year on a different farm, as we stood in a field that looked just like this one (light green with very little growth), I noticed a large, deep-green area about 30 yards away. It really stood out; its grass was at least 6 inches higher than the surrounding area. But the patch was a full 6 feet across, much too wide for a manure patch. I joked with the farmer, “Did a ewe die there?” He didn’t remember, so we all walked over and examined the forage. And found bones. Yes, I suppose this does add a new dimension to the term “fertile ewe,” but I wouldn’t recommend it as a routine fertilizer practice.

Let’s come back to our paddock. Notice that the total pasture mass is quite low. I’d say it’s only around 1,000 pounds (of dry matter) per acre. This is after 14 days of recovery. There is a problem here. Normally, I would remove animals from a pasture before they grazed the residual down to 1,000 pounds. This pasture is telling me the animals had been left in too long during the last grazing period. They had probably grazed it down to 700 pounds or even less. That’s well down into Phase I growth.

Plants in this part of their growth curve require a long recovery period until they have enough leaf area to capture enough sunlight for higher rates of growth. And this is early summer – we should be seeing an incredible surge of growth at this time – yet this forage is hardly growing. Fourteen days of regrowth has resulted in only 300 pounds of dry matter, a growth rate of only 21 pounds per day. I would expect that forage like this, if it was in Phase II growth, at this time of year with good weather and fertility, could grow at a rate of more than 100 pounds per day. This field, however, is being forced to struggle back from Phase I without good fertility. Think of all of the sunlight not captured.

There are, however, more efficient alternatives. During periods of high growth rates, some good graziers routinely expect to rotate animals through their paddocks every 17 to 21 days. But those graziers maintain high soil fertility, and they leave a lot more residual forage in their paddocks, which gives plants a running start for their next growth cycle. Those graziers can’t afford the long lag period from Phase I plants. Look at this field here: After 14 days,

it’s just beginning to add enough leaf area to support good growth. It will be another 20 days before this farmer can properly put stock back on it. So instead of coming back to this field in 21 days, animals won’t return here for at least 34 days.

One last thing – look over there, near the stream. See those large areas of tall grass that resemble bamboo? That’s reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea). It likes to grow in wet areas. Reed canarygrass may be an invasive volunteer species farmers hate, but it’s clearly growing in its niche on this farm. Since no one planted it, it must be one of the older, less palatable varieties. Those plants are tall because the animals didn’t want to graze them. That tells me the stocking density was too low in this paddock or at least in that area of the paddock. The animals refused the reed canarygrass because they had the luxury of alternative feeds. There was no cross-fencing, so the stock could avoid these reed canarygrass areas even as they contentedly overgrazed other parts of the field.

I know most folks curse reed canarygrass, but look at that growth. Maybe the reed canarygrass is telling us something. Maybe that area should not be treated like the rest of the field. If this were my place, I would probably fence that area as a separate small field so my animals would have no choice of feeds, and I’d move stock in and out as often as necessary to keep the plants low and nutritious. Otherwise, all that incredible growth of reed canarygrass simply means a lot of photosynthesis is going to waste.

Well, it’s time to go. Please close the gate on your way out. Let’s do this again soon – we’ll walk through a different paddock. And next time, I’ll make sure the electric fence is off.
