There are 620.7 acres (averaging 10.5 acres, max. 78 and min. 1.8 acres) of Eastern Gama Grass that have been planted in several South Central Kentucky Counties since 2001 in a cooperative effort between local Kentucky Dept of Fish and Wildlife and Natural Resource Conservation Service field offices.  Cattle have responded well to rotational grazing on the gama grass.  One landowner documented 1.98 lb/day weight gain on his cattle grazing eastern gama grass.  A diary operator reported five percent increase in cream content in her cows milk after grazing gama grass.  During the drought of 2007 cattle producers with gama grass were able to graze the livestock without providing hay to the animals.  Although the gama grass stands were planted as monotypic cultures many of the fields had volunteer clover and other broad leaf species providing habitat for insects.  Successful Wild Turkey nest and broods were reported in the gama grass fields.  Additionally, producers reported seeing increased rabbits numbers in the gama fields after the first year of establishment.  Mapping of the planting sites show that several gama grass sites are planted in close proximately thus providing the potential for greater wildlife benefits.
