BROME GRASS:

Smooth brome (Bromus inermis Leyss) is a long lived perennial cool season grass. Brome grass is used abundantly due to its many benefits it brings to its environment. Not only is brome grass a highly productive forage crop for grazing and haying, but it also is beneficial  for conservation issues. Areas with water drainage such as waterways and roadsides are seeded with brome to help with erosion control. It also filters nutrients and pesticides from run-off waters, which ensures a better quality of water in streams and creeks. Other areas like sod building and wildlife habitat are additional benefits.
