Thanks to advanced science and the outstanding University of Florida breeding program, your growing season is now longer than ever. UF-Riata is a purebred diploid bahiagrass that features improved cold tolerance and a growing season that extends well into the spring and fall months, when days are shorter and temperatures are lower. It also exhibits excellent stand establishment and seedling vigor.
The highest yielding bahiagrass on the market, UF-Riata can be planted farther North than other varieties. This variey is bred to start early in the Spring and go late into the Fall. Because it grows from frost to frost, it gives superior yields in the summer months compared to other varieties. UF-Riata is not as photosensitive to short daylight periods as other varieties — so when the days are short in the Spring and Fall, UF-Riata will still activelygrow. This gives you higher yields for a longer period of time and extra grazing or hay cuttings throughout the year.

Things that initially appear to be complex often seem simple once they have been explained and are understood. Perhaps a good example is the composition of livestock feeds and forages. Many of the numerous terms used in describing these components are not commonly used by the general public, which naturally [...]
Only a relatively small percentage of livestock producers regularly test their hay or other stored feed. Some are probably just not aware of, or not well informed about, this service. Unfortunately, many others know about it but apparently don’t consider it important enough to take the time and expend the [...]
Less-than-optimum weather conditions, as well as the cost of fertilizer, fuel, and other production inputs are factors that often make it difficult for livestock producers to make a profit. Providing nutrition during times when pasture is not available is one of the costliest aspects of producing livestock, so it makes [...]
A livestock producer learns a lot about a pasture over time by managing it, but that is not the only way to obtain information about a given field. Often, a great deal can be gained from simple observation, because various plants are more likely to become established and thrive under [...]
Providing nutrition when little or no pasture forage is available constitutes the single largest expense associated with most livestock operations. In most cases, hay is the most logical type of stored feed to use. Generally, the less hay required, the greater the cost effectiveness of an operation, and how hay [...]
