Pasture Plants that last

October and November rains are what makes our pastures some of the most sustainable in the State. Pity the State government doesn't recognise the urgency of protecting them ---and other sustainable grazing areas .(Does the Government really want to know?)
Here's a great survivor-- Cocksfoot . Look at those fine root mass .The alternative summer survivors have to behave a bit more like the radish family with tap roots .The great survivor ( marshmallow) (pictured )doesn't get grazed much but its roots take advantage of shallow and deep moisture . Did you know the root of this plant has some great uses?
