RC Big Rock is a new late season variety of upland switchgrass developed from Cave-in-Rock. Very tall height and high yield potential – likely to reach 7′ tall along the I-35 states, and up to a foot taller moving east to Wisconsin and beyond. It is the tallest upland switchgrass released to date. Genetically improved for ease of establishment, upright growth habit and increased height, making it an ideal choice for high quality habitat for deer and provides a better wintering habitat for pheasants and quail than Cave-in-Rock; better standing than all other commercial upland cultivars of switchgrass.

Large-seeded variety selected for reduced seed dormancy, increased seed weight and increased seedling vigor. Well adapted to drill-seeding. Can be frost seeded. Excellent winter hardiness (Zone 4A) for a late season variety.

Like Cave-in-Rock it grows well on diverse soil types and has a wide regional adaptation to states in the mid-west and northeast regions (Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania). Due its later maturity, it is also well suited for use in Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Virginia and West Virginia.

Best adapted to regions that receive on average greater than 26″ of average annual precipitation. For regions that receive 26-30″ consider a blend of RC Tecumseh and RC Big Rock. For regions that receive more than 30″ use RC Big Rock. For regions that receive less than 26″ use RC Tecumseh.

Summary of Wildlife Benefits

  • Provides tall, dense cover for nesting birds, small mammals, and fawns.

  • Seeds are a food source for birds like quail, pheasants, and sparrows.

  • Improves soil health and reduces erosion, benefiting overall ecosystem stability.

RC Big Rock Switchgrass is a hardy, low-maintenance native grass that enhances wildlife habitat, supports conservation efforts, and is ideal for tall cover and screening.

Key Characteristics of RC Big Rock Switchgrass

  • Planting Time:

    • Late spring to early summer (May to June) when soil temperatures reach 60°F or higher.

  • Planting Depth:

    • ¼ to ½ inch for optimal germination and establishment.

  • Planting Rates:

    • Broadcast: 8-10 lbs of pure live seed (PLS) per acre.

    • Drilling: 5-7 lbs of PLS per acre.

  • Days to Maturity:

    • Establishes in 1-2 years, reaching full maturity by the third growing season.

  • Height at Maturity:

    • 5-7 feet tall, making it ideal for tall cover and screening.

  • Drought Tolerance:

    • High; deep root system allows it to thrive in dry conditions.

  • Saturated Soil Tolerance:

    • Moderate; can tolerate occasional flooding but not prolonged waterlogged conditions.

  • Shade Tolerance:

    • Low; prefers full sun for optimal growth.

Fertilization Guidelines

  • Nitrogen (N):

    • Apply 50-70 lbs per acre at planting, with additional applications of 30-50 lbs per acre in subsequent years if needed for biomass production.

  • Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K):

    • Apply based on soil test recommendations. Typical rates range from 20-40 lbs per acre for P and K.

  • pH Range:

    • Prefers a soil pH of 5.5-7.5 for optimal growth.

Herbicide Use

  • Switchgrass is slow to establish and may require weed control during the first 1-2 years.

  • Pre-Emergent Herbicides:

    • Use atrazine or imazapic (labeled for switchgrass) to control annual grasses and broadleaf weeds during establishment.

  • Post-Emergent Herbicides:

    • 2,4-D can be used for broadleaf weed control. Avoid herbicide use once switchgrass is established to protect wildlife habitat.

  • Caution: Follow label instructions and avoid herbicides that may harm non-target species.

The Battle of Bretton Woods
Format: Hardcover
From the growing reliance upon international finance and the devastating repercussions of two World Wars, Steil weaves together an important narrative that tells the story of America's rise to the world stage as a major power. Britain's reign of dominance comes to an abrupt end under the weight of the Second World War and the dependence of their territories. Reliance on foreign aid and mounting debt put Britain in a precarious situation for which the United States capitalized on to secure its place as the dominant world power. Through the ideas and experiences of two brilliant economists, Harry White and John Keynes, were guided through the creation and implementation of an economic solution to remedy, and further amalgamate the global financial framework. At Bretton Woods, White and Keynes promote slightly different plans that form the International Monetary Fund and World Bank; organizations designed to monitor, stabilize, and assist international finance. To Britain, and much of the world's chagrin, the organizations are formed in a manner that benefited the United States post-World War Two position as a creditor nation. Dollar dominance in the newly designed financial markets promotes short-term growth for the United States. However, financial mismanagement and over-extension soon lead the U.S. down a path of monetary hardship that ultimately results in our current situation as debtor nations (much like Britain was when the story began). The author ends the narrative by chronicling the effects of Bretton Woods on the United States, Britain, and international finance from the mid-twentieth century to the present. This book tells the remarkable story of America's rise to power through a financial lens. Steil is a wonderful writer who describes complex ideas of monetary policy, international economics, and currency manipulation in such a manner that is easy to understand and leaves the reader wanting more.

A concise, readable history of European developments prior to W.W. i.
Format: Paperback
This is part of a 4 volume series on (primarily) European history covering the development of the French and Industrial revolution(s) with particular emphasis on the Belle Epoque that marked the end of nearly 100 years of peace among the European Powers. It covers a variety of topics ranging from the emergence of the working classes; the role of the middle class; industrial capitalism; nationalism; the sciences and the arts; and, even a chapter on the "New Woman". Quite encompassing in its treatment and its analysis of the a period that serves as a background to the twentieth century.

Un comentario
Format: Paperback
El mundo burgués generó desarrollos muy importantes para los habitantes de Europa Occidental particularmente; incrementó de manera importante los niveles de vida de una porción significativa de la sociedad, introdujo innovaciones claras en las ciencias, en lo educativo, en el comercio global y en el intercambio entre diferentes culturas. Mejoró la productividad, las comunicaciones, la alimentación......Pero también incorporó consigo tendencias negativas y difíciles que cambiaron para siempre la interrelación entre pares al crearse una diferencia significativa de clases, la alta, burguesa y la trabajadora y proletaria, continuó la discriminación sobre la campesina, estableció el concepto forzado de nacionalismo, transformó a los países mas desarrollados en imperios con ansias de crecimiento y de dominio de los menos preparados, se evidenció la explotación del tercer mundo, se inició el armamentismo y la instigación a la guerra que culminó con la desastrosa confrontación de 1914. El mundo, a partir de ese momento no volverá a ser igual. Todos estos conceptos, esta historia, están amenamente descritos por el autor, con un gran conocimiento de la época y con una inteligente asociación de los acontecimientos para hacer entender al lector sus grandes transformaciones e implicaciones. Como los otros tres libros de la serie, lo recomiendo ampliamente. Permite entender todo la evolución de nuestra civilización en los dos últimos siglos así como la influencia generada por los grandes imperios de la época y sus pensadores

Interesting book, dull period
Format: Paperback
As a Marxist historian, Hobsbawm sees the world at this time, as well as the modern world, as a playground for the forces of capitalism. He apologizes for taking a eurocentric approach to world history, while acknowledging that Europe largely determined the course of world events during this period. In spite of the title, there actually isn't much discussion of colonial empires; Hobsbawm seems more interested in how the Age of Empire affected the rulers more than the ruled. His Marxist sympathies are in evidence and at times make his conclusions a bit predictable, but some of his cultural critiques are quite brilliant. The chapter on the dilemmas posed by modern science is exceptional. Reading a book like this seems to me much more interesting than actually living in this period would have been.
