Definition
Meadow fescue (*Festuca pratensis*) is a perennial grass valued for its productivity and palatability as forage. It's commonly found in meadows and pastures, providing nutritious food for livestock. Think of meadow fescue as the cafeteria of the grass world for animals. It has a bunch-type growth habit and is well-suited to cool, moist climates. Unlike some turf grasses, it's primarily used for agricultural purposes. Its versatility and high nutritional value make it a valuable asset for farmers.
