Abstract
Interest in grazing cover crops or winter annuals has increased in recent years. Iowa research on grazing winter annuals has been concentrated in southern Iowa, but because of differences in growing conditions, data on growth potential from the northern half of the state is needed. Similar interest has been developing on utilizing summer annuals to fill in the traditional summer slump of Iowa pastures. This project is designed to replicate the current winter annual/summer annual project underway at McNay, Armstrong and Neely-Kinyon research farms, in order to measure and demonstrate the applicability in northern Iowa at the Northeast Research and Demonstration Farm at Nashua
