Wynette: For days we have walked by miles and miles of fields planted in this grass. I’d like to know what it is. A crop of some kind, or a winter ground cover? Hoping my Dad or brother Greg or one of my master gardener friends or someone familiar with European agricultural can tell me.
Paul doesn’t know what kind of grass it is. Sorry!
Robin doesn’t recognize it, but maybe it is just a winter cover crop.
Robin and Dad, thanks for thinking what it might be. Yes, I think it’s likely a cover crop that they’ll soon plow under. They’ve had so much rain here this winter, there would have been a lot of erosion if the soil had been left bare. A few times we’ve had to step into the grass to get around mud in the paths and the soil between the grass is very muddy too.
Mark Steele: Green manure.
