British Grasses and Their Employment in Agriculture (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from British Grasses and Their Employment in Agriculture

The enormous importance of our cereal grasses is apparent to everyone, but apart altogether from these, our native grasses are worthy of our highest attention, if only on account of the large proportion of agricultural land occupied by them. Of the total area of forty-seven million acres under grass and other crops in the United Kingdom, some twenty-seven million acres are now (1917) under permanent grass. Of the remaining area about six and a half million acres are occupied by Rotation Grasses and Clovers.
