Cultivars suited to the extreme climate conditions include date palm and Rhodes grass, used as an animal feed and a soil stabilizer.

Last year, the authority ended various subsidies, including one that farmers previously received from the government for growing Rhodes grass, which is used as animal feed.

Rhodes grass does wonderfully on muck soil, and, indeed, on most rich soils.

“Cultivating Rhodes grass, for example, consumes far too much water.”

Para grass hay is of good quality, and Rhodes grass of very fine quality.
