Using this budget, farmers can estimate the costs and returns of native warm-season grass (NWSG). Table 1 presents estimates for replacing forage stands with NWSG in Missouri. Assumptions were based on price forecasts in October 2024. The NWSG mix used in this budget includes big bluestem, indiangrass, little bluestem and forbs. The mix was assumed planted in a dormant season. Multiple years are needed for NWSG stands to reach full forage yield. Seeding mixes are designed to enhance wildlife habitat and meet eligibility for cost share practices. Use the "Your estimate" column to plan your operation’s costs and returns, including any cost share awarded.
