"Several forage crops were tested on nine farms this year. Over five inches of rain in May with copious rains in March and April brought forth every seed in the ground. Last year, 1924, was the driest year in the past fifty, and brought excellent results from deferred grazing countywide. It is the most important practice because two-thirds of the county is native grasses." M.B. Boissevain "Marin has 221,000 acres of grazing land. Much is growing poor grass because they do not have time to reseed and rest. UC has a new system called deferred or rotational grazing where pastures are allowed time to rest by taking stock off the grass for a period of time in spring." M.B. Boissevain
