Regeneration Of Native Midwestern Pastures Under Protection, J. E. Weaver, W. W. Hansen
Regeneration Of Native Midwestern Pastures Under Protection, J. E. Weaver, W. W. Hansen
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
The origin of native midwestern pastures from virgin prairie and the degeneration of the prairie under long-continued grazing have been outlined in some detail in a previous bulletin (Weaver & Hansen 1941). During the last four years much study has been given to the converse phenomenon of the regeneration of native midwestern pastures when grazing animals were excluded. This universal phenomenon of the return of vegetation to something of its former natural condition is summed up in the term plant succession (Clements 1928). In connection with pastures derived from true prairie, it is of great practical as well as scientific …

Bromegrass Production In Nebraska, A. L. Frolik, L. C. Newell
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
A native of the old world, from central Europe to China, bromegrass was introduced into the United States about 1884. In 1899, the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station reported that "all things considered, it is the most promising cultivated pasture grass for this state that has been tested on the Station farm." Early records of the Station show that considerable seed was distributed to farmers during the period from 1898 to 1902. A few of these early plantings are still in existence. Bromegrass increased in popularity in Nebraska until about 1910. Very little interest was shown in this crop during the …

Native Midwestern Pastures: Their Origin, Composition, And Degeneration, J. E. Weaver, W. W. Hansen
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
According to Doctor J. E. Weaver and Mr. W. W. Hansen the purpose of this bulletin is to present certain facts involved in range and pasture management by outlining in some detail the fundamental phenomenon of vegetational change upon which all rational pasture studies must be based. They maintain that the native prairie vegetation is an organic entity in close adjustment with soil and climate, which has developed gradually to its present condition of dynamic stabilization. When the prairie is grazed and trampled, various changes occur, the nature and extent of which vary somewhat directly with the degree of disturbance, …

Pastures are an important source of feed in the livestock industry. Approximately 70 per cent of the income from Nebraska farms is from the sale of livestock and livestock products, and for this reason consideration should be given to the maintenance of good pastures. Poor pastures, like other poor crops, are expensive. Good grass cover is also an effective means of conserving the soil resources.
