This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This has been known for quite a while now. I've seen US Ag short films from the 1930s on the benefits of pasture blends and the increased tonnage of feed it produces and how best to manage it to maximize the feed values for greater profits.

Growing up on a small dairy farm we used a mix of alfalfa, red clover, and timothy or maybe fescue. It's been few decades. It was pretty much up to providing decent forage even in dry years or on light ground.
