Narrative
Hampton germplasm is recommended primarily for livestock, forage production, and wildlife habitat. It is best used as a seasonal hay crop. The abundant, leafy forage is palatable to all classes of livestock. It can be utilized in grazing situations if appropriate grazing management techniques are applied (i.e. rotational grazing) to prevent damage to the plant community and stand population. Hampton germplasm may also be used for many types of conservation plantings, such as plant buffers and vegetative barriers. The extensive root system penetrates deeply which makes it ideal for holding soil particles and the prevention of erosion.
