Your
most drought tolerant grass suitable for our area Tom is fescue. For horse
owners that would need to be endophyte free fescue. Another drought
tolerant grass is Bermuda but in our area it usually will only take a start from
"plugs". University of Maryland experimented with this a few years ago. I asked
the same question about drought tolerant forages of an ag specialist from the U
of M last year.

Just returning from mowing dry weeds and another pasture
just seeded this spring dying (such beautiful clover it was or may be if we
get some rain). And reading on RC other parts of the country having the
same problem (yesterdays Washington Post front page Drought.... and the end
times here now) There has to be a forage that can grow in these
climatic extremes and provide sustanence to the herds thruout the world.
Being an Ornamental Horticulterist, not an Olericulterist, or a Turf or Forage
Specialist. What is this forage for pasture? tom
