PLANT MATERIALS

  • Switchgrass

This plot demonstrates a field of switchgrass production. Switchgrass is used in many vegetative buffer conservation practices and has potential use as a bio-fuel.

  • Native grasses

Native grass demonstration includes switchgrass, indiangrass, and bluestem

  • Sunflowers

Demonstration of Black Oil Sunflowers for wildlife or seed production.

  • Cover Crops

Cover crops are used to protect the soil during the winter months by using a living cover on the field to reduce erosion, build organic matter and nutrients, and relieve soil compaction.  Wheat, rye, clover, and vetch are examples of plants used for cover crops.
