Do you remember what your pastures looked like last summer during the drought? Were they brown and bare or were they still maintaining some fodder for livestock to consume? What changes do you need to make to your pastures to be able to provide adequate nutrition for livestock in the case that we have another drought? These are questions we need to ask ourselves as we plan for changes or additions to our pasture management. Are some forages more drought tolerant than others? Typically, a warm season grass will have qualities that help it maintain through dry conditions.
