Document Summary
Sustainability has three parts: environmental, economic, social. Pearl millet is a warm, season annual hay. Rye typically used for cereal grain. Oats typically used for cereal grain. Wheat typically used for cereal grain. These only have to be reestablished when the pasture has not been cared for. There are other varieties of millet, but this is the only kind that is fed to horses because all of the other come with negative consequences. Bermuda: common used in pastures because it can withstand foot traffic, coastal a hybrid, multicutivar, tifton 85 has coarser blades that are less likely to lead to impaction colic. Crabgrass: drought resistant, holds up well to hoof traffic. A master plan is a vision of where you are going in the future. Infrastructure: usually refers to buildings, things that are necessary for programs to exist and function. It is ideal to separate horse traffic from vehicular traffic.
