Tall fescue is a coarse, leafy grass that is useful in longterm
pastures and in erosion control. It is adapted to most soil
types, tolerates imperfect drainage and withstands animal
traffic well. Its ability to maintain good feed quality into
late fall makes it useful in "stockpile grazing."
A seed borne systemic fungus (an endophyte) has been linked
to poor animal perfomance on tall fescue pasture. Once introduced
by infected seed, the fungus cannot be controlled in an extablished
stand of tall fescue. All recommended varieties are endophyte-free.
