I of the effects of perennial grasses on soil properties in Nebraska was undertaken 20 years ago because of the interest in re-seeding land to grass and the demand for information on the value of grass in dry-land cropping systems for maintaining soil organic matter, improving soil tilth, and providing protection against erosion. At present, the interest in grass plantings has been intensified as a result of governmental restriction on acreage of wheat and corn, favorable livestock prices, and conservation planting.
