How important can monitoring your grass be to your success in a grazing operation?

We know that grass's rate of growth is continually changing in response to growing conditions.

We also need to know how much grass we have on hand and we do not know how much will grow in a given year as every year is different.

We know that we must observe, plan, monitor, adjust and re-plan, right? Well, yes, but we must do it and not just talk or write about it!

Today we are going to consider desirable plants per square yard, leaf-to-stem ratio, bare ground as a percentage, green leaves size and vigor, root depth and vigor, are the roots fat and deep or skinny and short?
