I did learn from biology that in the seeds of most plants store a high amount of sucrose which would be used for their growth, since they can't carry out photosynthesis yet when they're still seeds. Maybe this has something to do with that?When I was learning pasture management for my three cows I read that the older grass turns to cellulose and is unpalatable. When I mentioned this on the Forum many, many years ago, Ed Pirog shot me down saying ALL grass is cellulose. So I don't know what the cattle article meant by that statement, but I do know that taller, older grass is not as tasty as the younger shoots.
