What grows in a field?

Answer 1

Grasslands are home to many native grasses and forbs, all in a natural polycultural system. What grows where depends on the location, since grasslands cover much of the land surface which is not covered by forests, croplands or urban and industrial areas.

As an example, in grasslands of Western Canada, grasses like Needle and Thread (Stipa comata), Western Wheatgrass (Agropyron dasystachylum), Foothills Rough Fescue (Festuca campestris), Blue Grama (Bouteloua gracilis), and some introduced species like Crested Wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum), Smooth Brome (Bromus inermis), and Kentucky Bluegrass (Poa pratensis) are found. Forbs include Winterfat, Hairy Aster, Broomweed, Prairie Sage, Pasture Sage, Thorny Buffaloberry, Western Snowberry, Brown-eyed Susan, Yarrow, Lupine, Wild Rose (common and prairie), Pincushion Cacti, Pineapple weed, and many, many others can be found in grasslands all over Canada.

Grasslands that are ploughed under for crop production are home to crops including wheat, canola, soybeans, corn, rice, lentils, peas, potatoes, and others. Many of these crops require extensive irrigation, unlike the native grasslands which have been able to survive for millions of years with just water that comes naturally from the sky.
