This depends on the type of grass, it's stage of maturity, and its moisture content. One hundred sixty-seven pounds of dry matter (all water removed) can be anywhere from 500 to 800 pounds of actual-matter (or as-fed).

Finally, area also depends on the nutrition of the soil and soil type, and the amount of precipitation the area receives. A poorly fertile, dry location will dictate that 167 lb of DM grass is going to cover a lot more area than a highly fertile, moist location. One entire acre can hold 167 lb of DM grass, or merely 100 square feet or less. Highly moist areas will provide much more forage yield than dry areas, and highly-fertile soil will provide more forage yield than poorly fertile soil. Certain grass species will also provide more forage than others.


As a result, there is no definite answer. Each location will be different as far as forage yield is concerned.

What happens when there is too much grass?

Neglecting to mow the lawn for too long will result in there being too much grass. An overgrown lawn is much harder to mow than a lawn that is regularly cut. A farmer may allow the grass in a field to grow tall until the field is mown to provide silage or hay for winter feed.On the African savana, in the dry season, there is never too much grass, forcing herbivore to migrate to follow the rains. Personally, I don't believe there is never too much grass.


What does the grass always looks greener on the other side?

Depends on which side you are standing and from the angle you see the grass. Seeing grass from a distance the viewing angle is much lower and this will hide the imperfections in the grass, giving the illusion that the grass is completely green. However, when you walk closer and you are viewing the grass from a top down view all the dirt spots and dead grass is revealed. Because of this trick of the brain you will always perceive grass in the distance than much greener as the grass on which you are standing.
