Al Schmid at Minnesota had pasture mixture trials. After establishing pasture mixes, he turned beef steers on them to evaluate palatability. One year he seeded reed canary around each plot to delineate them. The steers grazed the reed canary to the ground before they ate the plots. New York State biologists forced the owner of a stone quarry to remove a fence erected to keep timber rattlesnakes out of his quarry.
Rattlesnakes don t get stress, they cause it.
Of course the controlled burn quickly became an uncontrolled burn, a veritable Towering Inferno, the smoke wreaking havoc on rush hour traffic. For months he recorded the daily dry matter content of corn silage at the UNH farm, and it changed considerably depending on precipitation events. There s a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot.
