“…For the perennial forages, a 10-yr production horizon with no grazing in the establishment year was assumed, which is typical for this region (Boyer, Tyler, Roberts, English, & Larson, 2012Lowe et al, 2015;Zhou, Boyer, Larson, & Lieb, 2014). Total establishment and production costs of native warm-season grasses were calculated following previous studies (Boyer, Griffith, Roberts, Savoy, & Leib, 2014;Keyser et al, 2016;Lowe et al, 2015Lowe et al, , 2016McFarlane, Boyer, & Mulliniks, 2018). Establishment costs, which included seed, fertilizer, herbicide, machinery, and labor, were annualized over the pasture production life using a discount rate of 5.5% (Boyer et al, 2012Lowe et al, 2015;McFarlane et al, 2018;Zhou et al, 2014).…”
