Ben Mayo, a booster for Wood’s Permanent Pasture Mixtures, showed our Bil Wood a 55-acre pasture in Hdgecombe Co.» 
N. C., last August after one of the worst droughts. 135 cattle could not keep it grazed down. Although seeded 25 years ago, 
it is much more productive and palatable than a nearby pasture seeded 3 years ago with Tall Fescue and Ladino Clover, which 
is about gone. The many grasses and clovers in the old pasture still furnish a balanced diet of grasses and clovers that have 
never caused bloat. The clovers furnish nitrogen, keeping the grasses dark green and vigorous..
